Leeds, the melting pot. A Spanish ham cutter, a Colombian chicken sexer, an Italian usher, a Cape Verdean actor, an Iraqi-Kurd ghost-writer, and a widow of Leeds all weave their way towards the Playhouse for The Death of Margaret Thatcher. Collage or cocktail: the forces of neoliberalism, yin-yang, and The Golden Bough bring them together and then tear them apart. The Leeds school has an explosive new voice formed in Madrid.
