The amendments: A Play on Words poster. It shows two white men in suits. One has his arm around the other, putting office stationary in his mouth, with a maniacal grin. Behind them is blue background with a black tie and black text that reads ‘amendments: A Play On Words’ - with the rest of the words redacted.   At the top of the poster is the Middle Weight Theatre logo (a red boxing glove holding a pen) and reviews for the show that read ‘a perfect comedic gem’ and ‘a comedic rollercoaster’. Both reviews have five stars.

amendments: A Play On Words

Has 'political correctness' gone mad? Is censorship overshadowing common sense? Or is it vital to protect vulnerable people against prejudice?



Meet Kenneth, a middle manager in a stringent office environment. His task for the day: talk some sense into employee John - currently being reprimanded over the hot topic of harassment. But what is - and what is not - acceptable to say? amendments: A Play On Words is a political comedy drama that packs a punch, delivering controversial debate, dazzling word play and perfect comic timing.



Following a canceled UK Tour in 2020 (due to some pesky thing called a 'pandemic') ★★★★★ Middleweight Theatre are back and ready to split opinion.
