Fanny & Stella: The Shocking True Story

Details

"It will be raw and unvarnished. And tragic. But with laughter and gaiety. There will be love and romance. And drama. And medical examinations. And a painful death." Victorians Ernest Boulton and Richard Park were known and adored as Fanny and Stella. They dazzled in female roles on our nation's stages - and in clubs and bedrooms from London to the Highlands. Tonight - for one night only! - they present the shocking story of their own rise to fame and fall from grace. A riotous play about two young men who dared to be different, whatever the cost. Face masks have to be worn for all performances, with audiences socially distanced within The Garden Theatre. Fanny & Stella: The Shocking True Story website.
