About the Show

Tim Walker's new play documenting the dramatic court case Gina Miller brought upon Theresa May.

Pro-EU campaigner Gina Miller and then Prime Minister Theresa May were both described as "bloody difficult women" as they were at loggerheads around the enormous implications that Brexit could bring to the UK. Walker's new play explores the tumultuous political events of the past few years through the lens of two determined women locked in a power struggle.

Critic Reviews (4)

In Stephen Unwin’s snappy production, both women offer occasional monologues to hammer home the point that they are operating inside a deeply misogynistic system.

Walker has crafted a vital new play that recalls some of David Hare's 1990s state-of-the-nation pieces for the National Theatre: it's witty and civilised but with a brutal undertow. Recommended.

The strong moments come when the women talk frankly. In their occasional mirroring monologues, they reflect on their individual struggles...Walker’s point is hammered hard. For women – even “bloody difficult” ones – the fight for success is an uphill climb.

In multiple scenes there is lots of talking as events are described but little actually happens, and Stephen Unwin's direction could helpfully inject more zip.
