London 2008. I sin vackra våning förbereder den åldrade före detta premiärministern Margaret Thatcher frukost till sin man Denis, precis som hon har gjort varje morgon av sitt gifta liv. Men Denis lever bara i hennes fantasi. Fångad i en frustrerande passiv tillvaro och kämpandes mot sin sviktande hälsa, överöses Margaret med minnen. Fragment av privatliv och karriär trängs i hennes hjärna och hon återupplever dem med levande intensitet. Medan hon kämpar för att behålla kontakten med verkligheten, retas och kivas Denis med henne. Kampen, triumferna, sveken – vad åstadkom hon till slut? Och var det värt de uppoffringar hon fick göra?
A detailed and compelling portrait of one of the most formidable characters in British politics as she faces her final days in power. The year is 1990 and Margaret Thatcher's support within the government is wavering - her hold on the premiership hangs in the balance. Then, long-serving politician Sir Geoffrey Howe resigns over Thatcher's attitude to Europe. His resignation speech sparks a chain of events that leads to the overthrow of Britain's first woman prime minister. This modern dramatic tragedy illustrates the strengths and fatal flaws of this iconic woman more clearly than ever before and reveals how the very aspects of her character that helped her secure power are the ones that ensured her downfall. Drama starring Lindsay Duncan.
