Following five sell-out runs at the Edinburgh Festival and London’s Leicester Square Theatre, the critically acclaimed Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho comes to Wilton’s Music Hall to coincide with the Brexit vote.
As the UK exits the EU stage, the Iron Lady returns to the spotlight in this acclaimed and outrageous 80s drag cabaret extravaganza! On the eve of a crucial vote, Maggie gets lost in Soho and accidentally becomes a cabaret superstar. Will she change her mind about the homophobic bill before it’s too late…?
A big gay odyssey about LGBT rights, the 80s and disco created by Olivier Award winner Jon Brittain and Matt Tedford. Performer and co-writer, Matt Tedford (‘the best Mrs Thatcher since Spitting Image’s Steve Nallon’ Arthur Smith), is pulling on the tights once more to give audiences an insight into the difference an individual could have made with a sideswipe at homophobia and censorship.
On Friday, 29 March from 9.30pm there will be a special one-off club night, Margaret Thatcher Queen of Club Nights, marking the UK’s exit from the EU stage on Friday, 29 March. There’ll be non-stop 80s hits from a non-stop 80s witch as the Iron Lady drops more beats than Theresa May has dropped manifesto pledges. As Corbyn takes his party back to the 70s, Maggie takes hers to the 80s! Featuring dance-offs, lip-sync battles and more. Tickets are £15 or £10 with a ticket to the same Friday, 29 March show of Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho.
Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho has received rave reviews across the board and won huge acclaim after playing to an audience of over 15,000 during five completely sold-out runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, two sold-out runs at the Leicester Square Theatre (March & December 2015), a full run at Theatre503 (Battersea, London) in 2013 plus inclusion in the ThatcherWrite festival, also in 2013. It runs alongside Margaret Thatcher Queen of Club Nights at Gilded Balloon.
