Glorious!
by Peter Quilter 3/12/2010 - 3/28/2010
Directed by Nicole Capri Bauer
Nominated for the 2006 Laurence Olivier Award as Best New Comedy!
“… this delightful and blissfully funny new play…generates a rare glow of warmth and generous laughter…” – The Daily Telegraph
Glorious! is based on the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, the legendary New York heiress and socialite who wanted to be a great operatic diva despite having one of the worst singing voices in history.
Patricia Kilgarriff stars as Florence Foster Jenkins
Add one insubordinate Mexican maid who speaks no English, her ditzy companion Dorothy, Florence’s money, charm and unstoppable will-power and their exploits lead all the way to a crowning moment in Carnegie Hall!
“This affable and often very funny play…has a joie de vivre that is appealing and treats its subject with such affection that you soon begin to melt.” - The Guardian
Darren Dunstan as Cosme, Patricia Kilgarriff as Florence Foster Jenkins, Lillian Castillo as Maria
