A final opportunity to catch this highly acclaimed, ground breaking drama by Liverpool based touring company Gerundagula Productions. Meet the Real Maggie Thatcher provides a frank, powerful and engaging insight into one of the most notorious political leaders whose policies divided a nation. Original and often gritty portrayals feature the moving tale of a striking Miner as well as Poll Tax, Clause 28 and the Falklands War.
Meet the Real Maggie Thatcher is directed by Coronation Street and Brookside legend ‘illy’ also formerly of the BBC. Although at times emotionally charged, this highly poignant production containing no strong language…only the truth. Award winning writer Mike Francis Carvalho is most recently renowned for 80′s themed drama Vienna and controversial Edinburgh Festival production “Breathe in”.
