| Two of the world’s finest actresses will star in two outstanding plays from award-winning playwright Alan Bennett.
Twice nominated for an Academy Award, and Golden Globe winning actress, Brenda Blethyn will star in Miss Fozzard Finds Her Feet and joining her is Australia’s best loved actress, Sigrid Thornton performing Her Big Chance in what can only be described as a theatrical tour de force.
Miss Fozzard Finds Her Feet is
the delightful tale of a guileless spinster, who, when her chiropodist
retires, finds happy feet with her new specialist. Forced to leave her
position in soft furnishings at the local department store, as the
primary carer for her disabled brother, Miss Fozzard ventures into an
extraordinary relationship with her new podiatrist opening her to a
world of new experiences.
Her Big Chance is the story of
Lesley, an ambitious yet somewhat delusional actress in search of the
ever elusive “Big Break”. Lesley works hard at her craft but needs a
career “leg up”. Will a chance encounter at a party provide just that?
The Talking Heads monologues
are poignant yet hilarious pieces that showcase Bennett’s brilliant
powers of observation and comic timing, often revealing the darker more
satirical side of his work.
