Death of Margaret Thatcher Play

Daily Mail referred to the play as: "A provocative new play about the death of Lady Thatcher has been condemned as a vile slur on her character. The Death of Margaret Thatcher gloats at the imagined demise of the former Conservative prime minister."

Written by Tom Green
Presented by The Courtyard Theatre
http://www.thecourtyard.org.uk
Directed by June Abbott

'A short, sharp shock of a play by the highly recommended finalist of The Kings Cross Award for New Writing 2007, giving a disturbing, ironic and often funny account of a specific time and four disparate people held hostage to the news.'

With devastating, hugely enjoyable precision the writer Tom Green asks us "where will we be?....how will we react?....will we be the same?"

'It is a politically astute, hugely imaginative state of the nation play'
Robin Soans, Playwright (Arab Israeli Cookbook)

cant wait till the evil cow dies i for one would happily boil her alive in a large pot and piss on her to boot

The good news is she'll be even more commanding in death as she was in life. Death only ever does a whole load of good, if she were a rock star she'd sell a million albums but being a politician she'll influence a million minds and that's a million times closer to getting rid of all you thick fucks! She's gonna haunt you... She's gonna haunt you hard.... Arise the Ghost of Margaret Thatcher - ¦¬)

@GML67 She wasn't a dictator she won three landslide elections democratically and fairly. The British public voted her in. Argentina are responsible for the wars and deaths they start and cause - not the defender. Stop being so hyperbolic.

Anyone who tells a nation to "rejoice" at the deaths of 18 year old Argentine conscripts and who decimated entire mining communities to the point that three generations have been on benefits, while coal lies beneath their feet, and the same for communities relying on other industries, deserves all the scorn and hate she gets... in life and in death. We no longer have industry on any meaningful scale, we produce nothing (Germany does!) and we have this disgrace of a 'human being' to thank for it.

I got excited when I heard the first 7 seconds of this video.

[DitchDiggers]

Really not strong enough. And why is the playwright back peddling. We need a direct voice to represent the hell she put so many people through. I am glad the theatre is reacting, but this really does not seem to be the guy to do it.
