Gertrude Lawrence – A lovely way to spend an evening
Nominated for an Off-Fest Award!
The 1930’s star of musical comedy tells her own story in her own words. Funny, pacy dialogue which is bursting with songs from Variety and Revue to hits by Noël Coward and Kurt Weill.
A theatrical cabaret performed by Lucy Stevens with pianist Elizabeth Marcus. Directed by award winning cabaret artist Sarah-Louise Young.
Lucy’s performance embodies the spirit of Gertie, a feisty, strong woman from Clapham who transcended the class ceiling, forging her stage and screen career into her 50’s. This cleverly crafted new, vibrant script transports the audience from her childhood in Clapham to London’s swanky night clubs and the bright lights of Broadway.“This is a quality show… a truly fascinating and colourful life story, told with passion, humour and not a little drama. I loved it!” Clare Brotherwood UK Theatre Network
“Portrayed with much heart by the talented actress and singer Lucy Stevens… The audience was enthralled from the first moment and laughed and cried.” Tamara Stein Fringe Review
