13 May @ 2:00 pm - 17 May @ 9:45 pm

£28.00

11 years of weekly, behind-closed-doors meetings, where the destiny of a nation is shaped. 

Moira Buffini’s clever and charming political comedy unlocks the palace door, imagining the untold conversations of two of history’s most powerful women, Margaret Thatcher and Queen Elizabeth II. 

Ronald Reagan, Denis Thatcher and an ensemble of familiar faces add to the biting satire and sharp humour as the gloves come off and personalities clash. 

25 years later, with both women now gone, their shadows still loom large, as this Theatre Nation Partnerships production, produced by Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch, explores the legacy of this divisive premiership, leaving audiences to question what they truly know about those who decide our nation’s destiny.
