Director's Note
Alex Christopherson on his ridiculous idea
The past few years of British politics have been turbulent and distressing, but frankly if we can't laugh about it, what can we do? One story was particularly hilarious to me: that of our shortest ever prime minister. No, I'm not talking about height, but duration. In just 44 days she caused more damage to the UK economy than arguably anyone else, and in true British satirical tradition, this was marked by the shelf-life of a lettuce.
The Techtonics are known for being silly, stupid, nerdy and over the top. So to me, this seemed like the cross over that (despite no one asking for), everyone needed to see.

A Timeline of Liz's Premiership
Day 1 5 Sep
Well done BoJo
Liz is elected Prime Minister by the Conservative Party and, in her acceptance speech, thanks Boris Johnson for his admirable service "from Kiev to Carlisle".

Day 2 6 Sep
Visit to the Queen
Liz is appointed by Her Majesty the Queen at Balmoral and appoints Kwasi as her Chancellor.
Also, a video of her former Lib Dem days went viral.

Day 4 8 Sep
Mourning Begins
Liz and Kwasi announce the energy support package, but before anyone can react, Queen Elizabeth II passed away.
The next two weeks were national mourning.

Day 18 23 Sep
Mini Budget
The mini budget is announced and, well, you know the rest...

Day 37 13 Oct
Kwasi isn't going
Kwasi has been sent to New York City to try calm the international response to the mini-budget.
Before boarding the plane home, he is asked if he'll still be chancellor in a month: "yes," he says, "and Liz will be PM."

Day 36 12 Oct
"Dear oh dear"
Liz meets the king again, who greets her with a "Dear oh dear, back again". Yikes...

Day 28 3 Oct
U-turn time!
U turn time! Liz and Kwasi start undoing much of their mini-budget.

Day 23 29 Sep
U-turn? Never...
Liz doubles down on her economic plans and rules out any U-turns.

Day 38 14 Oct
Goodbye Kwasi
As soon as his plane lands, Liz sacks him.

Day 42 18 Oct
Liz is definitely not hiding under a desk
With Jeremy Hunt now undoing all her and Kwasi's ideas, Liz seems to have lost all authority and avoids PMQs.

Day 43 19 Oct
"I'm a fighter, not a quitter"
Her most iconic line followed cross-party calls for her resignation, most notably from her own home secretary Suella Braverman.

Day 44 20 Oct
"I quit"
The U-turn to end all U-turns, within less than 24 hours of denying it as a possibility, Liz has resigned.
Lol.
Director's Team

Alex Christopherson
Writer & Director
Mechanical engineer, publicity officer, writer and director, Alex has many hidden talents. Acting is perhaps not one of them though, so it's good he only has a few lines in the show as Keir Starmer.

Alex Li
Writer/Director
The Alex + Alex duo, you’ll see h - wait, where is he? He’s not here? Why is he in Tokyo? He’s not singing his Earthquake solo? There must have been a mega-quake in Tokyo.

Arun Ramanathan
Musical Director
MD first, Chemistry second. This soon to be Oxford PhD was born to perfect pitch, but forced to pitch pipe. However, his knowledge of niche meme references is unmatched to his knowledge of choral music.

Mari Dickenson
Choreographer & Stage Manager
Post-grad biochemist and dance mom extraordinaire, she taught us all the moves and saved the show. Puts a little too many hashtags on her TikToks...

Robert Brickle
Executive Producer
When El Presidente isn’t fantasising about rebar (reinforced concrete), he’s probably planning a Techtonics tour. While the Alex’s made the show happen, this man made the trip happen. But please, can we take a nap?
Cast

Liz Truss
Jonathan Williams
Liz. Jonny. Liz . Jonny. Never seen in the same room together, because they’re the same person. Both are incredible singers, third year mechanical engineer, and make the economy tremble at a glance.
.jpeg)
Kwasi Kwarteng
Kabir Agnihotri
Charming and insanely funny, this first year joint Math and Computing student is ready to have you all gasping for air for his hilarious rendition of One Last Time.

King Charles III
Giulio Bassanino
Peanuts and Sesame, stay away—Giulio's here to slay! Between avoiding anaphylactic shocks, he studies maths and computing at Imperial College London and climbs V2s at his local gym.

Husband
Joshua Gray
Joshua is a magnificent specimen, graduating with two degrees in Physics and Music Performance in Cello. With his special skills, he has decided to pursue both careers until the end of time.

Dani Ditherbottom
Marco Himly
Beloved by all, Biologist Marco brings unmatched charm to the stage. His unique flair leaves everyone wanting more, often resulting in a trail of admirers falling at his feet.
.jpeg)
News Anchor
Owen Cox
This mechanical engineer has got a voice as low as the Mariana Trench and a heart as big as Mt. Everest. His mellifluous voice will have you all craving more news stories from this anchor.

Alec Scones
Arun Ramanathan
I guess we meet again, you thought that he was just our ace up our sleeve as our MD, but he will also make you question our government.
.jpeg)
Government Advisor
Robert Brickle
Guess who’s back, back again, Bobby’s back, tell your friends! While planning the trip and studying for his degree, he was busy advising Liz how to avoid complete economic chaos.
.jpeg)
Boris Johnson
Gabriel Haddad
With smooth baritone vocals and less smooth pickup lines, meet Gabe. An adrenaline junkie, he once broke his arm cycling into potholes in London just before a show.

IMF Head
Reuben Gilson-Barrett
Reuben GB, aka RGB, reigns supreme in hitting high notes—legend has it, no one belts longer than he does (a legend he might’ve started himself). This physicist may become the rightful ruler of Glasgow.

Labour Member
Michael Langton
Gosh, another design engineer. Other than learning the Techtonics’ entire set list and rehearsing for the show, his arts and crafts skills were put to use to make props and costumes.

Labour Leader
Alex Christopherson
Watch out Keir Starmer, a new challenger approaches! His relentless onslaught testing Liz’s leadership beckons the question; Starmer, or a lettuce? Guess we’ll see in 44 days!

British Airways Pilot
Pallav Bagchi
Pal just finished his second year of Aeronautical engineering and now that he has studied the plane in great detail, he is finally ready to become the plane in this show.

Vocal Percussion
Gabriel Smith
Who needs a drum set when you have Gabs! Other than his love for consulting in cybersecurity, his love for learning how to beatbox brought him to the Techtonics.

Vocal Percussion
Soon Yung (backup)
It’s obvious that his knowledge in signals and electrical systems came from being the Techtonics’ equipment manager, and not his degree. Similarly to Alex L, he’s busy completing his internship in Singapore!
