Former PM and cabaret superstar Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho is back, and she’s also hosting a club night! 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 back to the 80s. Featuring dance-offs, lip-sync battles and more, come and join the one female Tory who still has public support. You’ll be as Lucky, Lucky, Lucky as Kylie was avoiding marrying to Jason.
Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho – a delightful odyssey about gay rights, the 80’s and disco – has received rave reviews across the board and won huge acclaim after playing to an audience of over 15,000 during four 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.
