| In
this new play with music, HM Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother has a brief
encounter with the ghost of her old friend, theatrical legend Sir Noël Coward.
Overtaken by a “senior moment” at the 1998 dedication of Coward’s memorial
statue, the Queen Mother witnesses the resurrection of her dead friend.
Together they are propelled backwards through time to relive a half-century of
glorious memories and magical musical moments.
It’s cocktails and laughter, banter and song, until a faux pas unleashes a
right royal bun-fight between the greatest queens of England. Not for nothing
did Hitler declare her “the most dangerous woman in Europe” while moving Coward
to the very top of the Nazi death list.
Two Old Queens is a joyous
celebration of enduring friendship between people who simply know too much
about each other to hide the truth.
Directed by John Senczuk with additional material by John Michael
Swinbank.
Featuring Edgar Metcalfe and John Michael
Swinbank
with musical director Tim Cunniffe at the grand piano
