General Secretary. Soho Theatre, Dean Street, London. 1 February 2022. 4****. William Russell

Part of the Soho Rising season this hilarious two hander stars Cassie Symes and Georgina Thomason as two young women of no importance, although considerable personality, who suddenly find themselves in charge of the world - and they have a whale of a time trying to run things as does the audience watching them. They were to have appeared in the cancelled Vaults Festival so this is a case of being rescued. Symes and Thomson make a perfect double act, one tough, one more sensitive as they roam the corridors of power trying to put things to right wherever they go. The result is sixty minutes of satire to leave you aching from laughing.They have been dubbed "satirical gold" and there is no reason to say otherwise.Or perhaps comedy gold would be better,
