The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher

A gripping psychological thriller for the stage, adapted from the incendiary short story by Hilary Mantel. First staged at Liverpool Everyman in 2026. It's late summer, 1983. Out in the street, the world is waiting to greet Margaret Thatcher as she emerges from hospital after routine surgery. But here in this room her life is up for deadly debate… and history is holding its breath. Two people. One window. A gun. When the time comes to pull the trigger, what side of history will you be on? Based on the incendiary short story by Hilary Mantel, The Assassination of Margaret Thatcher is a darkly funny and dangerously tense psychological thriller. Alexandra Wood's stage adaptation was first performed at Liverpool Everyman in 2026, directed by John Young.
