SUMMARY:Michael Portillo - A Life of Two Halves
DESCRIPTION:Secretary of State. Traveller. TV superstar. The inimitable Michael Portillo joins us live on stage to share funny\, insightful\, and poignant stories from his extraordinarily rich and varied life. \nThe son of a refugee who rose to become one of Britain’s leading politicians and best loved broadcasters\, Michael Portillo’s life has been a game of two halves. As a statesman he served under Margaret Thatcher\, ran for the leadership of the Conservative Party\, and lost his seat in one of the most famous moments in British political history\, only to become one of the nation’s favourite broadcasters\, sparring with Diane Abbott and Andrew O’Neill and enthralling millions of us with his travels on the world’s greatest railways. \nIn this unique stage show\, Michael will share his life story\, from his late father’s experiences of the Spanish Civil War and escape to England\, where he and Michael’s mother met while looking after refugee children\, all the way to his present-day adventures travelling across Spain\, the USA\, India\, and beyond. \nWe’ll hear Michael’s funny and insightful observations about his old boss Margaret Thatcher and his reflections on the decay of political power. He’ll tell us about his break into TV – including the time he became a single mum… And\, of course\, we’ll hear about the great railway journeys he has undertaken and what they can tell us about the history and state of the world today. \nWhether you are passionate about politics or a fan of Michael’s many international adventures\, this is an unmissable treat. All aboard! \nTime – 19:30 \nCost – £33.00 – £47.99 (Including booking fee) \nFor info go to https://www.cornex.co.uk/events/an-evening-with-michael-portillo
