From satire to the stage: Harry Hill writes Tony Blair opera for London's West End | ITV News

Politics is a serious business but it is surely good for democracy - and for voters' spirits - that every once in a while, a work of satire pokes fun at our elected leaders. The latest has been written by ITV's own Harry Hill and his long-term collaborator Steve Brown. According to the PR blurb, it charts how a peace-loving, long-haired hippy and would-be pop star became a war-mongering multimillionaire in just a couple of decades. Guessed already? Put it this way: Harry is not expecting Sir Tony Blair to come and see himself portrayed on stage anytime soon. • Subscribe to ITV News on YouTube: http://bit.ly/2lOHmNj • Get breaking news and more stories at http://www.itv.com/news Follow ITV News on Facebook:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Twitter:   / itvnews   Follow ITV News on Instagram:   / itvnews
