£18.00 (Tickets)
, £12.00 (Concessions)
Summer 2010 and the heat is on the newly crowned Labour Prime Minister. Maggie Thatcher, the woman who destroyed the lives of many communities and gave us the assurance that 'there is no such thing as society', has kicked the bucket. And, in a sign of how far New Labour has lost its sense of history, serious plans are afoot to give the late PM a state funeral.
Ed Waugh and Trevor Wood's play is a piece of social history, reminding us of another cycle of greed and collapse, and also skewering the hypocrisy and crass ignorance of the current administration. The piece is acerbic, witty and makes a point about the lack of any party representing social justice in modern Britain.
We're really looking forward to a bit of good old left wing theatre. As the Northern Echo put it, 'Top Marx'.

Really looking forward to this!
It's not a comment on the play as such but I absolutely WISH I had come up with 'Top Marx'. Best pun of 2009 so far.
