Time Out

**** A pungent satire on the parliamentary whips. A fascinating insight into Westminster power games

The Guardian

The Sunday Times

Whipping It Up is the sharpest new comedy of the year. Terry Johnson directs a masterful production, achieving a hurtling comic pace while also allowing for considerable depth and subtlety in the performances
