A cloak and dagger political drama by Simon Bovey about the conspiracy that triggered the collapse of the first Labour government in 1924, starring Mark Bonnar as Ramsay MacDonald. Ramsay MacDonald ….. Mark Bonnar JD Gregory ….. Sam Troughton Major Sir Desmond Morton ….. Max Bennett Sir Eyre Crowe and Thomas Marlowe ….. Jonathan Coy Aminta Bradley Dyne ….. Jaimi Barbakoff News Vendor ….. Luke MacGregor Directed by Gemma Jenkins This is a world of grand conspiracies and scaremongering. Despite happening over 100 years ago, events feel uncannily familiar. Much of the truth surrounding who did what and when is still shrouded in mystery. Based on what we do know, this drama sets out to join up the dots.
