Description
Margaret
Margaret is in her 80s. At times she is her old self, sharp, lucid, clear; other times confused, frightened and frustrated. She talks to an imagined Denis, to herself, to the audience.
Margaret is a new play by Donegal playwright Shaun Byrne, a follow up to last year’s highly successful Bloody Sunday themed An Incident with Dave Cotter. Starring Rachel O Connor as Margaret Thatcher, three times British Prime Minister. The play joins her near the end of her life and explores her troubled relationships: with the Irish, the miners, her children, the public, her male cabinet; as past demons, guilts and successes return to torment, flatter and deceive her.
‘You have no enemies you say? If you have none
Then small is the work that you have done.’
