With a working title of "Waiting For Gordo", journalist and aspiring playwright Richard Heller has rewritten one of the great plays of the 20th century. Beckett's classic "Waiting For Godot".
The play conveys the existential futility of life for many in the modern Labour party and their long, seemingly endless wait for Gordo to come and make sense of things.
