Mrs Beeton Says

Date: Thursday, Dec 6 2018 - Thursday, Dec 13 2018
Venue: Redgrave Theatre

World premiere of this new musical play.

Mrs Beeton’s Book of Household Management has been the trusty companion to generations of women and home-makers, offering advice on childcare, animal husbandry and the management of servants as well as recipes galore.

The cherished Victorian values of cleanliness, thrift and hard work are all reflected in the book which many credit with helping shape the middle-class identity of the age.

The play is the unexpected story behind the iconic figure that is Mrs Beeton and tells the tales of the many women she advised, supported and befriended.

This is a story of friendship, ambition, heartache, a strong marriage and a dash of plagiarism.

Recommended age: 12yrs+.

Music and lyrics by Eamonn O’Dwyer, book by Helen Watts. Directed by Paul Clarkson. Musical director Pamela Rudge

Dec 6-13, various times – see Tickets link below. For more info, visit https://www.oldvic.ac.uk/events-shows/mrs-beeton-says/
