How Margaret Thatcher first won and then lost the Conservative leadership. The play concentrates on the personalities, rivalries and machinations involved in the leadership battles and does not set out to take a pro- or anti-Thatcher stance. Mrs Thatcher blamed her loss of office on the deceitful treachery of Geoffrey Howe, the irresponsible ambition of Michael Heseltine, tawdry Cabinet disloyalty and contemptible backbench weakness. But was that the whole story?
