Its conceit is to use a male affair as a metaphor for the tortured submissiveness of Britain to America on foreign policy. I applaud the intentions, even if the play is almost too ingeniously elliptical to ram home its arguments. Churchill presents us with two guys on a sofa: Sam (as in Uncle) and Jack (as in Union) - they might even be Bush and Blair. And what is startling is the sexualisation of politics. The two guys coitally bond over military diplomacy, regime change, rigged elections, and much else. Sam demands a "total commitment" which Jack, who has left his family, cannot give. And Jack's qualms surface over carbon emissions which, it is implied, may end the affair. I love the idea. And Churchill pursues her premise with rigorous logic. Jack harps on sacrifices made to be with Sam, with domestic ties neatly symbolising party principles. Sam is bullish, dominating and unyielding. And it is genuinely funny to see a dispute over trade tariffs played out as a lovers' tiff, with Sam saying "Come on, we've done debt cancellation here". Like Pinter, Churchill nails US doublethink ("private means free"). While the two, like intimates, complete each other's sentences, the compacted speech sometimes leaves arguments hanging in the air. It's a short play you almost need to hear twice, or read straight after, to get the full force; only when Sam gets a rare, uninterrupted speech about torture-practices do you feel Churchill's moral rage. Even so, the piece is skilfully staged by James Macdonald with the sofa itself rising ever higher as the two lose contact with reality. Ty Burrell's Sam has a wonderful thrusting aggressiveness. Stephen Dillane's Blairite Jack has the right mix of capitulation and lurking conscience. Having dealt in the past with the politics of sex, Churchill puts the sexuality of politics centre stage. ‧ Until Dec 22.
