Glorious! The true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, the worst singer in the world by Peter Quilter
Performance Dates: Sun 9 March - 15 March 2025
Director: Barbara Harris
A sparkling play about a New York heiress who dreamed of becoming an opera singer, despite having a terrible singing voice.
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 performances. 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 ultimate triumph at Carnegie Hall, in this wonderful, heart-warming play.
