On September 5th 2022 Mary Elizabeth Truss became Prime Minister after meeting with the late Queen Elizabeth invited her to form the next government. Full of ideas about tax cuts,  borrowing and energy price guarantees she wanted to make radical changes without proper planning and consultation. By October 25th, fifty days later Truss resigned after a huge majority lost confidence in her leadership.

Emma Wilkinson Wright delivers an intriguing performance and insights into how former Prime Minister Liz Truss potentially viewed her time at Number 10 in The Last Days of Liz Truss. How these changes which caused all the controversy were viewed by Truss and that the plans should have had a positive impact on people’s lives.

The play offers a “look behind the scenes” insight into Truss in her personal life. As An avid karaoke performer, mother and a brief mention about the affair she had. As someone who didn’t know very much about her life, it was interesting to learn more about her.

Wright delivers a strong and convincing performance of the short-lived Prime Minister. Capturing Truss’s mannerisms, behaviour and accent as she breaks the fourth wall to explain to the auditorium her plans to move to America and make contact with Trump and help him!

No performance about these final few days would be complete without referring to “the lettuce” that had been live streamed during her time at Number 10 and managed to last longer. Quite an achievement for the lettuce.
