Magnificent performances from a stellar cast, news clips highlighting the major events and a dramatic behind-the-scenes story of a government at war, this is the play once deemed too controversial to produce.

In 1982, Margaret Thatcher's government sent British forces to war to regain the Falklands Islands from occupying Argentininan troops. Four years later, the BBC commissioned a play on the conflict, only for playwright Ian Curteis's work to be shelved, amidst claims it had been deferred because of the imminent General Election.
20 years later, the play was finally produced: a gripping account of how Margaret Thatcher and her government faced the biggest crisis in foreign affairs for a generation. Beginning with the mute reactions and American indifference to the early Argentinean manoeuvres, we follow the story through to cabinet resignations and UN resolutions as the crisis develops and the Task Force is deployed.
As the Task Force nears the Falkland Islands, war becomes a distinct possibility. The tension increases as backroom manoeuvring's between Thatcher's government, the military, the Americans and the Argentineans only lead to a breakdown in diplomacy and an inevitable conflict. As a War Cabinet struggles to direct military strategy thousands of miles from the battleground the anguish and drama intensifies, and a steadfast but emotional Prime Minister takes each mistake, tragedy and success to heart...
