THE IRON LADY depicts the compelling story of Britain’s ex-Prime Minister, Margaret Thatcher, a woman who smashed through the barriers of gender and class to be heard in a male-dominated world. The story concerns power and the price that is paid for power, and is a surprising and intimate portrait of an extraordinary and complex woman.
One of the most successful actors in Hollywood, Meryl Streep has been nominated for 16 Oscars, of which she’s won 2, and 25 Golden Globes, of which she’s won 7. Therefore it is fitting that no one is more suited to attempt to embody the most important and controversial female politician of recent history – Margaret Thatcher.
