Gertrude Lawrence: A lovely way to spend an evening

The 1930s star of musical comedy tells her own story in her own words. Funny, pacy dialogue, which is bursting with songs from Variety and Revue to hits by Noël Coward and Kurt Weill.

A theatrical cabaret performed by Lucy Stevens with pianist Elizabeth Marcus. Directed by award-winning cabaret artist Sarah-Louise Young (An Evening Without Kate Bush).

Lucy’s performance embodies the spirit of Gertie, a feisty, strong woman from Clapham who transcended the class ceiling, forging her stage and screen career into her 50s. This cleverly crafted new, vibrant script transports the audience from her childhood in Clapham to London’s swanky nightclubs and the bright lights of Broadway.
