Based on the infamous 1729 essay by Jonathan Swift, A Modest Proposal is a satirical comedy starring Jed Murray. Set in the boardroom of a strategic Government task force assembled to deal with challenging social issues, Johnny is a very convincing presenter who has applied blue sky thinking, shifted the mindset and has come up with a solution where everyone wins. But will the board agree with his modest proposal?
“Swift’s clever satire is still a shocker three centuries on” “Very funny” - Irish Independent
“Shockingly good” - Irish Daily Mail ****
“Jed Murray is a perfect fit for the role of Jonathan.” “A truly great hour in the New Theatre- highly recommended.” - Reviews Hub
“An interesting update on an undoubted classic. Food for thought!” - No More Workhorse
“As cool and chic as they come” Sunday Independent
