A riotously funny satirical farce in the tradition of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead and Shakespeare in Love, from the author of The Libertine.
Elizabeth I is at death's door. Conspirators are everywhere. A politically-sensitive trade delegation is on its way to London. Who can be trusted to entertain them? Comedian Lucius Bodkin thinks he'll hit the big time but he's reckoned without the Tudor backstabbers and the City wide-boys.
The Clink could pass itself off as a long-lost Elizabethan comedy. In fact it is a brilliant political satire offering many sharp parallels with our own times, when art must be sponsored, but to be sponsored it must be 'safe'.
