What’s On Stage
The production, inspired by the court case Gina Miller brought against Theresa May in 2016 and with the final climatic scene set in the present, is directed by Stephen Unwin and stars Calum Finlay (Max Guilden), Edmund Kingsley (Alan Miller), Graham Seed (Sir Hugh Rosen), Jessica Turner (Theresa May) and Andrew Woodall (Paul Dacre).
Denise Silvey, the producer, says: “Even after we extended the run of Bloody Difficult Women by popular demand, a great many people who couldn’t manage to get along asked us to stream it. We’re now delighted to share our play with a much wider online audience all over the country and beyond. We hope they will share, too, the enthusiasm that our live audiences had for this unique play and see why it has such resonance in these challenging times.”
Tim Walker, the writer, says: “Any show that is as honest about our political classes and our media as Bloody Difficult Women was always going to make powerful enemies, but it made a lot of great friends for itself, too, and played to packed and appreciative houses night after night in London. It’s a state-of-the-nation play that has a lot to say for itself, but, trust me, it will make you laugh as well as think.”

BLOODY DIFFICULT WOMEN
By Tim Walker
Cast: Amara Karan (Gina Miller), Calum Finlay (Max Guilden), Edmund Kingsley (Alan Miller), Graham Seed (Sir Hugh Rosen), Jessica Turner (Theresa May) and Andrew Woodall (Paul Dacre)
Director: Stephen Unwin; Designer: Nicky Shaw; Lighting Designer: David Howe

“If standing up for what you believe to be right is being ‘bloody difficult’, then so be it”
Theresa May
Tim Walker’s brand-new drama sees the tumultuous political events of recent years played out in a power struggle between two determined women.
His intensely human account of the court case Mrs Miller brought against Mrs May makes for revealing and often very funny theatre, but ultimately, it’s a tragedy, where there are no winners, only losers.
Walker brings the story bang up to date in a dramatic finale which says so much about the deep divisions we still have in our country.
