50 Things About Us: What We Really Need to Know About Britain

A fast and furiously funny journey through our national memory. From self-delusions about size and stature to deceptions around the living links between empire, slavery, money and power. Mark Thomas is on a quest to remind us of the true and shared greatness of modern Britain. Mark Thomas combines his trademark mix of storytelling, stand-up, mischief and really, really well-researched material to examine how we have come to inhabit this divided wasteland that some of us call the United Kingdom. Based on his latest show, 50 Things About Us, and informed by his last acclaimed show on the NHS, Mark picks through the myths, historical facts and current figures leading us through critical times. It s a show about money, history, the empire, guns, bungs, sods of soil and rich fuckers. And how we have so much feeling for such a conflicted land.
