Two countries are locked in battle over a strip of land when a fragile ceasefire provides a chance for peace. Over the negotiating table, cynical diplomats, idealistic peacemakers and meddling mediators try to navigate a perilous path to agreement as the threat of continued conflict looms ever larger.

Helmed by the presenter Clive Anderson, and written by experienced diplomat Daniel Taub (former ambassador and Middle East peace negotiator) with comedy writer/producer Dan Patterson (Mock the Week, Whose Line is it Anyway, The Duck House), Winner’s Curse is a brand-new show that combines humour and audience interaction to take you behind the scenes of a high stakes international peace talk.

For this world premiere, Clive is joined by a terrific cast of Winnie Arhin (Big Girl Words, Shine Black), Arthur Conti (Machinal, Crazy For You), Greg Lockett (The Mousetrap, The Boys in the Band), Michael Maloney (All Creatures Great and Small, Magpie Murders, The Trial of Christine Keeler, The Crown), Nichola McAuliffe (The English) and award-winning actor and founder of Northern Broadsides, Barrie Rutter.
