Coronation Chicken is a one-hour comedy written by Christopher Mooney and directed by Emily Wilson. The performers are Isabelle Townsend and Simone Bendix, neither of whom are called Margaret but who call each other Margaret because, for reasons beyond their ken, they ‘feel’ compelled to do so.

Coronation Chicken has delighted audiences in kitchens and living rooms around Paris.

Coronation Chicken is a recipe for disaster. It’s what happens when two women in a kitchen begin to question the meaning of everything – including their own identities, and every word that comes out of their mouths. Now add a chicken, Margaret Thatcher and Princess Margaret, two Francis Bacons, a bottle of whisky, and the Complete Works of William Shakespeare. Shake vigorously and serve.
