About this show

A therapeutic unravelling in four sessions. 'Oh God, you know I don't do this self-analysis thing very well.' Through imagined conversations with a therapist, Keir Starmer grapples with the transformation from respected lawyer to national leader – finally ending up in a present-day crisis. What went wrong? And is it solvable? This is a wryly comic look at a political unravelling of frankly criminal proportions.
