When Sophie lands a new job in parliament, it’s a chance to leave her past behind. Working as an assistant to a charismatic MP, she climbs the ranks as he rises meteorically from backbencher to leader of the opposition. But when scandal sweeps Westminster, Sophie is forced to choose between ambition and integrity. MESSIAH is a new play about power, corruption and what happens when the personal becomes political.
