Hip hop twist to Clegg’s role in coalition

The show, which has the working title Nicked, features David Cameron in a “rap off” with his backbenchers and promises to take in the student demonstrations and the run-up to the referendum on voting reform.

Steven Atkinson, the artistic director of the HighTide Festival in Suffolk, where the show will be performed, said it will follow “the rise and fall of Nick Clegg”.

He said: “In the first half we have the formation of the coalition and Clegg’s struggle to decide which way to go.

“They are all in there – Cameron, Clegg, Brown and the Milibands.

“There is a brilliant scene when Cameron has to go to the Conservative Party to convince them the coalition is the way to go and they have a rap off and of course it’s all these posh white men rapping like street kids.”
