Prunella Scales to come to The Beck!
|
Posted: 18 December 2008 We are delighted to announce the first star name who will be performing in the forthcoming production of Gertrude’s Secret; the legendary Prunella Scales. Prunella is famously known for her much loved role as Basil Fawlty’s long-suffering wife Sybill in classic BBC sitcom Fawlty Towers as well as numerous television, film and theatre credits. Gertrude’s Secret is a series of nine monologues, with Prunella taking on the title role of Gertrude, a lonely widow waiting for a call from her daughter on her birthday, but what exactly is her terrible secret? This and many other questions are answered in this frequently hilarious and yet often unnerving show which features some of the best acting talent in British theatre. Thousands of people have now experienced Gertrude’s Secret, consistently loved by both seasoned theatregoers and non-theatregoers alike. This colourful show transports you to an absorbing world of bizarre, sad and comic characters, creating an unforgettable show like none you have ever seen before. “It’s not just the writing that’s impressive. Andrew Loudon’s production is finely acted throughout” **** Daily Mail Getrude’s Secret is at The Beck Theatre on Monday 2nd February 7.30pm |
