An evening stage show titled "Michael Portillo: A Life of Two Halves", in which Michael Portillo appears live to share stories from his life. The son of a refugee who became one of Britain's leading politicians and best loved broadcasters, he will talk about his years in politics under Margaret Thatcher, his leadership bid and the loss of his seat, and his later career in broadcasting and on television. He will also recount his family's story, from his father's escape from the Spanish Civil War to England, and his travels on the world's great railways across Spain, the USA, India and beyond. The show is presented and promoted by Fane and lasts 1 hour 50 minutes including an interval.
