A Most Pressing Issue, a play by Tim Harris in partnership with Matt Williams is a dark satirical comedy that follows four prison workers battling a fire with anything but water. As characters wrestle with existential crises, heartbreak and bureaucracy, an inevitable doom draws ever nearer, forcing this band of misfits to confront their long-forgotten. A Most Pressing Issue will be at New Wimbledon Theatre Sunday 22nd June, for one night only. 

Prepare for full speed, uninterrupted chaos from start to finish as Gaulier trained clowns and sharp-edged comedians deliver a relentlessly funny tale of love, loss, fear and arrogance. 

A Most Pressing Issue is a love letter to the comedic greats of our time. Drawing on fast paced, slapstick comedy to pack a punch while exploring themes of loneliness, incarceration and institutionalism, creating conversations about the ethical treatment of prisoners in the UK. 

This performance explores issues surrounding mental health, particularly amongst men, using comedy as a tool to speak candidly and honestly about Anxiety, ADHD and Depression. 

This exciting piece of new writing is eager to push boundaries, electrify audiences and most importantly, make you laugh out loud.
