The lettuce is back! After a sold-out critically-acclaimed premiere The Last Days of Liz Truss? by Greg Wilkinson, directed by Anthony Shrubsall with Emma Wilkinson Wright as Liz Truss and Steve Nallon of Spitting Image as the voice of Margaret Thatcher returns to the White Bear Theatre 18 – 29 March.
Prime Minister Liz Truss is navigating her last morning at Number 10. But can a fighter ever quit?
The Last Days of Liz Truss? garnered five-star reviews and an “outstanding” from The Guardian’s Mark Lawson during its sold out premiere in December. Now this highly topical play by BBC Writers Room Award-nominated writer Greg Wilkinson, performed by Emma Wilkinson Wright as Liz and featuring Spitting Image’s Steve Nallon as the voice of Margaret Thatcher (and others), is coming back to the White Bear for a strictly limited run, 18-29 March.
A tragic-comic exploration of the tensions in politics between ambition and ability, vision and reality, going short and playing it long, the play also takes a much broader look at broken systems and the tensions and contradictions at the heart of British and global politics.
Produced by Oxia Theatre.
