Former Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher will be the focus for a unique theatrical performance in Burnham-On-Sea this May.
Historian Lesley Smith has built a reputation for portraying the ‘Woman Who Shaped Britain’ with academic excellence and a wealth of experience.
Performing as Margaret Thatcher is the latest incarnation for the historian who has developed a following for her representations of historical figures such as Mary Queen of Scots, Boudicea and Anne Boleyn.
“Whatever your political persuasion this evening will provide a gripping portrayal of the ‘Path to Power’ from a renown historian, with a excellent sense of humor,” she said.
The evening will be held at 7pm on May 3rd at Burnham-On-Sea’s Princess Theatre.
Inspired by the autobiography ‘The Path to Power’, the audience will hear her take Thatcher’s journey to 10 Downing Street, using entirely the words of the late PM.
Tickets for this one night only unique theatrical performance are on sale at £14 (£12 for Trade Union members).
Price includes a welcome drink and tickets are available from the Princess Theatre & Arts Centre Box Office on 01278 784464 or from www.princesstheatreandartscentre.co.uk.
