Details

Once upon a time, two small girls killed two smaller boys... Jack Thorne's expanded and updated new version of Fanny and Faggot delves further into the person behind the name Mary Bell. A huge success in the 5065 Lift at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2004, this London production reunites the director Stephen Keyworth with Elicia Daly who played Mary to critical acclaim. This ambitious and highly theatrical drama presents a disturbing, funny, and troubled world, and examines two distinct moments in the life of Mary Bell. Using documentation from the court case in 1968 and the imagined events of her escape in 1978, Fanny and Faggot explores Mary's journey to the brink of horror and her tentative steps back into 'normal' life. Fanny and Faggot is presented in association with Lifeboat Theatre and Weaver Hughes Ensemble. Running time 1 hour 30 minutes. The show will have one interval.
