As a big fan of Jeremy Irons, I really wish I could see this play and hope they will eventually televise it.
It has been said Irons gave a masterful performance as an old-school politician, Harold Macmillan who was the British prime minister from 1957-63 when the Beatles and Swinging London were starting to change the world in "Never So Good" at London's National Theatre.
Macmillan was wounded five times in World War I, survived a plane crash in World War II, connived with U.S. President Eisenhower to end the 1956 Middle East War over the Suez Canal, and was there when Kennedy faced the Cuban missile crisis.
But he is best known for having to resign from office following what became tagged as the Profumo Affair when the U.K. minister of war became embroiled in sexual shenanigans with a woman named Christine Keeler, who also was sleeping with a Russian spy(!).
