The Chichester Festival Theatre production of the comedy, Yes, Prime Minister will return to the West End for a run at the Apollo Theatre, July 6-September 17, following a national tour, according to Whatsonstage.com.

Adapted for the stage by Antony Jay and Jonathan Lynn (who also directs) from the classic 1980s BBC sitcom, the play has been updated to reflect modern politics, with special policy advisors and a country in financial meltdown

The production stars Simon Williams as civil servant Sir Humphrey and Richard McCabe as hapless Prime Minister Jack Hacker.
