Playing Maggie

Synopsis:
Not merely a reflection on how to portray this lady but a live audience with Margaret Thatcher. Pip Utton is the Iron Lady! Saviour or witch? Love her or hate her? Not for Pip to decide, only to portray. She divided the nation like no other politician. Hear her philosophies, her inspiration and her logic. Known throughout the world for spellbinding portrayals of Adolf, Churchill, Dickens, Chaplin, Hancock and many others, Maggie is probably Pip's greatest challenge yet. Pip not only becomes Margaret Thatcher but risks taking audience questions, and answering them as Maggie!
