When Does the Stageplay "The Full Monty" (2013) Take Place?

"The Full Monty" is a comedy stageplay written by Simon Beaufoy [adapting "The Full Monty" (1997) by Simon Beaufoy] that released February 2nd, 2013. So when is "The Full Monty" set? 


It takes place in the year: 

1997? AD 


We know this because in the very first scene of the show in the closed down steel mill Gary "Gaz" explains to his son why they named "The crane. Margaret. Named after our Glorious Leader, Mrs Thatcher." Later, a bust of British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher is present during a scene in the local Conservative Club. She was elected Prime Minister on May 4th, 1979 AD in the real world. So it must be long after May of 1979 AD. 

Also, the guys all rent the movie "Flashdance" (1983) on videotape to learn some dance moves and the film released on VHS in England on March 5th, 1984 AD. So it must be after March of 1984 AD.
