After becoming an 2014 Edinburgh Fringe sensation with a completely sold-out debut run, followed by a highly successful stop off at the Brighton Comedy Festival, she's back! Britain's first female Prime Minister stars in a drag comedy musical extravaganza like no other!

On the eve of the vote for Section 28, Maggie gets lost in Soho and accidentally becomes a cabaret superstar, but will she change her mind about the homophobic bill before it's too late...?

Off the Kerb Productions in association with Áine Flanagan Productions are pleased to announce the multi-award winning joyous romp, Margaret Thatcher Queen Of Soho, will be heading to London's West End for the first time ever. The smash hit not-to-be-missed show will run for a limited time only from 17th- 21st March at Leicester Square Theatre at 7.30pm including a second special late night show on the Saturday 21st March at 9.30pm.

Performer and co-writer, Matt Tedford ('the best Mrs Thatcher since Spitting Image's Steve Nallon' - Arthur Smith), is pulling on the tights once more after huge acclaim from the ThatcherWrite festival, a full run at Theatre503 (Battersea, London) in 2013, and a hugely successful completely sold-out 2014 Edinburgh Fringe to give audiences an insight into the difference an individual could have made with a sideswipe at homophobia and censorship.

Co-written and directed by Jon Brittain, this delightful odyssey about gay rights, the 80's and disco has received critical acclaim and achieved rave reviews across the board. Since the Queen of Soho's debut just under 18 months ago, the show has won both the Brighton Argus Angel for Artistic Excellence (Brighton Fringe) and Micheál Mac Liammóir Award for Best Male Performance (Dublin International Gay Theatre Festival) for Matt Tedford plus has been nominated for the Most Promising Playwright (Off West End Awards).
