Heath, Thatcher – Rehearsed Reading

Margaret Thatcher’s remarkable defeat of Edward Heath as Tory leader came full circle years later with her own dramatic downfall. They were rivals who loathed each other. They inspired their supporters and infuriated opponents. They were victims of treachery and deceit as well as of their own delusional complacency. They were consumed after their downfalls by resentment and bitterness. Heath, Thatcher dramatises the intertwined, vengeful saga of how Margaret Thatcher won and then lost the Conservative leadership.

A semi-staged reading by professional actors.
