‘Wilton and Evans reign supreme’ (Financial Times) in this hilarious story of the Queen Mother and her most loyal servant. Don’t miss the final weeks of this ‘gleefully subversive comedy’ (Time Out) playing at the Duke of York’s Theatre until 27 January.

1979. Inside Clarence House, The Queen Mother’s receptions are in full swing and the champagne is flowing. Guiding the proceedings is William ‘Billy’ Tallon, holder of the royal corgis and Her Majesty’s loyal servant.

Outside, strikes are bringing the country to its knees and Britain is on the verge of changing seismically under Margaret Thatcher. These two worlds are about to collide with dizzying consequences…
