You couldn't make it up

I promise you this is true:

Edward Duncan Smith, son of former conservative leader Iain Duncan Smith is set to cross over political sides this summer when he takes on the role of Alistair Campbell in the premiere of the new musical Tony! The Blair Musical at York Theatre Royal from 18-21 July.

The performance is put up by the University of York students, who are then taking the musical to the Edinburgh Fringe festival;)

Actually, even better is the fact that he's also appearing as Iain Duncan Smith himself as a member of a barbershop quartet of former Tory leaders. Trust me ... I'm Tony.
