Lord Clegg awakes. He is in an enormous palace. His butlers and concubines sing him awake with their preparations for the day. But he has had a dream. A most unusual dream. He falls asleep once more.

And so we find ourselves in Sheffield Hallam, 2005, at the election of Nick Clegg to Parliament. From here, a zigzag, whistlestop tour through the rise and fall - and ultimate tragedy - of Nick Clegg, inventor of the Liberal Democrat party and the ultimate Radical Centrist. In his sudden rise to power he will find himself choosing between ideological purity and political compromise, as the nefarious George Osborne, Chancellor of Shadows, seeks to lure him into a foul coalition.

This musical comedy throws together a collage of political absurdity from the now-nostalgic Coalition era, remembering Nick Clegg not merely as a minor politician, but as the centrifugal point around which British politics tried, and failed, to be different. It is a surreal adventure through the recent past, and an ultimately moving account of why you must never compromise on your true beliefs.
