THEATRE: Margaret Thatcher Drag Queen and World’s Filthiest Puppets At 503 Theatre

<p>This December, Theatre503 provides a feast of alternative Christmas entertainment with double bill of shows not for the easily offended.</p> <p>Entertainment News Desk | 26th October 2013</p><p></p><p> </p><p><img src="http://www.thegayuk.com/communities/8/004/009/928/388/images/4600857641.png" width="460" height="283" alt="Margaret Tatcher | YouTube" title="Margaret Tatcher | YouTube"/></p> <p></p><p>Following their sell out smash at the Edinburgh Fringe in BORIS AND SERGEY’S VAUDEVILLIAN XMAS ADEVENTURE, puppetry's Balkan bad boys Boris & Sergey are hoping to capitalise on their eight five star reviews, while MARGARET THATCHER QUEEN OF SOHO sees Matt Tedford pulling on the tights once more as he returns to Theatre503 after huge acclaim from the Thatcherwrite festival earlier this year. Both productions can be seen individually or together at Battersea’s Theatre503 from 10 December 2013.</p><p> </p><p>Presented by Flabbergast Theatre, BORIS AND SERGEY’S VAUDEVILLIAN XMAS ADEVENTURE follows the riotous exploits of Boris and Sergey. Simply the greatest vaudevillian double act ever conceived for the small stage. They present for your viewing pleasure an improvised crossover cabaret featuring Bunraku puppetry and character comedy for discerningly twisted adult audiences. Expect riotous exploits, malarkey, mirth and molestation!</p><p> </p><p>Formed in 2010 Flabbergast Theatre was set up to make uncompromising and exciting physical theatre in a belief that all theatre should be engaging and sweaty. Exploring puppetry for adult audiences, breaking the preconception that puppetry is a children's medium.</p><p> </p><p>Written by Jon Brittain and Matt Tedford, MARGARET THATCHER QUEEN OF SOHO is a hilarious camp odyssey in which the eponymous Prime Minister gets lost in Soho on the eve of the vote for Section 28 and accidentally become an overnight cabaret sensation. MARGARET THATCHER QUEEN OF SOHO is a joyous romp about the difference an individual could have made with a sideswipe as homophobia and censorship.</p><p></p><p></p><p>Listing info:</p><p></p><p>Theatre503, Jon Brittain, Matt Tedford & Áine Flanagan Productions Present</p><p></p><p>Margaret Thatcher Queen of Soho by Jon Brittain and Matt Tedford</p><p></p><p>Tuesday 10 December 2013 – Saturday 4 January 2014</p><p>Directed by Jon Brittain</p><p></p><p>Cast: Matt Tedford as Margaret Thatcher</p><p></p><p>Dates and Times:</p><p></p><p>9pm on Tuesday 10 to Saturday 14 December, Tuesday 17 to Saturday 21 December, Monday 23 December, Friday 27 and Saturday 28 December, Monday 30 December, Thursday 2 to Saturday 4 January.</p><p>7pm on Sunday 15 December, Sunday 22 December and Sunday 29 December.</p><p>Follow Maggie on Twitter: @sohoThatcher</p><p></p><p>Venue: Theatre503, 503 Battersea Park Road, SW11 3BW</p><p></p><p>Tube: Sloane Square then bus 319, South Kensington then bus 49 or 345, Vauxhall then bus 344</p><p></p><p>Train: 15 minutes walk from Clapham Junction (5 mins from Victoria or 7 mins from Waterloo) or take Grant</p><p></p><p>Road exit, then bus 49, 319, 344 or 345</p><p></p><p>Bus: 44, 49, 319, 344, 345 all stop outside the Latchmere</p><p></p><p>Tickets: £12 (£10 Concessions), pay what you can on Sundays</p><p></p><p>Box Office: 020 7978 7040</p><p></p><p>Website: www.theatre503.com</p>
