Margaret Thatcher may have been an inspiration and icon for Liz Truss and Penny Mordaunt, however the levels of appreciation surpass role model status. A puppet of the Iron Lady will be unveiled at a horror show in time for Halloween.
Somerset House will be featuring the infamous Margaret Thatcher puppet from Spitting Image as part of an upcoming exhibition at the London-based arts centre. It is the first time the puppet will be going on public display.
The puppet was designed by caricaturist and Spitting Image co-creator Peter Fluck and will feature in The Horror Show!, which opens on Thursday October 27. The landmark exhibition explores how ideas rooted in horror have informed the last 50 years of creative rebellion in Britain, taking visitors on a heady ride through five decades of counter-culture, the avant-garde and the uneasy.
