Off The Leash Theatre (Then RUFF Theatre), proudly launched with its very first production, the sharp and hilarious political comedy Yes, Prime Minister, performed at The Place Theatre, Bedford in February 2026.

Marking an exciting beginning for the company, the production was a complete sell-out success, delighting audiences with its fast-paced wit, larger-than-life characters, and brilliantly chaotic political manoeuvring. Bringing the much-loved classic from screen to stage, the production showcased Off The Leash Theatre’s passion for high-quality, entertaining theatre with heart, humour, and ambition.

The show brought together a fantastic company of local performers and creatives, creating an unforgettable experience both onstage and behind the scenes. From packed audiences and glowing feedback to plenty of laughter throughout the run, Yes, Prime Minister perfectly captured the energy and spirit of what Off The Leash Theatre aims to create.

As the company’s debut production, it set the tone for what’s to come — bold productions, strong storytelling, collaboration, and a commitment to creating exciting theatre experiences for audiences across the region.

A sold-out first production? We’d call that a very good start indeed.
