Podcast: Hoping to Last Longer Than 49 Days

The Last Days of Liz Truss, White Bear Theatre

Emma Wilkinson Wright and Greg Wilkinson discuss The Last Days of Liz Truss

Poor Liz Truss, forever to be remembered for her failures and not the amazing work she did in promoting Britain’s pork markets! But maybe that’s all about to change with Greg Wilkinson‘s The Last Days of Liz Truss surely here to correct the record on her behalf? Well, ok, maybe not…

The Last Days of Liz Truss joins Liz in her last morning at number 10, taking us on a tragic-comic exploration of the tensions in politics: between ambition and ability, vision and reality, going short and playing it long. Can a fighter ever quit?

We caught up with Greg, along with performer Emma Wilkinson Wright to talk about the show, and find out if they are planning to set the record straight in support of our shortest ever Prime Minister.

The Last Days of Liz Truss plays at White Bear Theatre from Tuesday 18 to Saturday 29 March. Further information and tickets available here.
