It takes just a moment to make history. Based on the incendiary short story by Hilary Mantel, The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher is darkly funny and dangerously tense – a gripping psychological thriller for our politically violent times. Written by Alexandra Wood, this daring play is an audacious game of power, class and conviction that asks the biggest 'what if?' of them all. It's late summer, 1983. Out in the street, the world is waiting to greet Margaret Thatcher as she emerges from hospital. Just routine surgery – what on earth could go wrong? But here in this room her life is up for deadly debate… and history is holding its breath. Two people. One window. One gun. If the time comes to pull the trigger, which side of history will you be on?Premiered at the Liverpool Everyman in 2026.
