Susie Blake and Sanchia McCormack play their respective versions of Thatcher with a pitch-perfect haughtiness matched by Kate Fahy and Emma Handy's takes on her majesty. Of course, Thatcher has the last word, and yes, it is as negative as much else during her inglorious reign.
Overall, the piece is entertaining both to the politically aware as well as those with no prior knowledge. It is an accessible, sharp-tongued, well-written piece of drama that has been carefully produced. Certainly one not to miss.
An inventive, very funny and surprisingly subtle piece of theatre.
Although her play sparkles with brilliant one-liners, and offers a hugely enjoyable night out, its subject is an immensely serious one, handled with both sharpness and subtlety.
