In this musical drama, actor and classically trained singer Lucy Stevens, tells the story of the 1930’s star of musical comedy Gertrude Lawrence. Using text drawn from Gertrude Lawrence’s memoirs and letters woven with songs from her repertoire, Lucy tells the Gertrude Lawrence story from her perspective for the first time. A feisty, strong woman from Clapham, Gertie transcended the class ceiling, forging her stage and screen career into her 50’s. The show celebrates her brilliance, on and off stage, with pacy dialogue which is funny and revealing. Bursting with over 20 songs from London variety and revue to hits by Noel Coward and Kurt Weill. A theatrical cabaret performed by Lucy Stevens with pianist Elizabeth Marcus. Directed by award winning cabaret artist Sarah-Louise Young.
