Hilarious comedy of the worst singer in the world
In 1940's New York, the performer who everyone wanted to see
live was Florence Foster Jenkins, an enthusiastic soprano whose
pitch was far from perfect.Known as 'the first lady of the sliding
scale', she warbled and screeched her way through the evening to an
audience who mostly fell about with laughter. But this delusional
and joyously happy woman paid little attention to her critics,
instead she was surrounded by a circle of devoted friends who were
almost as eccentric as she was.Based upon a true story, the play
spins from Florence's charity recitals and extravagent balls,
through to her bizarre recording sessions and an ultimate triumph
at Carnegie Hall in this hilarious and heart-warming comedy.
Glorious is published to tie-in with the premiere at Birmingham
Repertory Theatre, starring Maureen Lipman.
