25-30 Oct Glorious!

Glorious! comes to The Wharf between the 25th and 30th of October.

This play, which enjoyed a West End run starring Maureen Lipman, takes a more humorous approach to its subject matter than the recent Meryl Streep film.

Florence Foster Jenkins was an American soprano, socialite and philanthropist. Her love of music and performing became evident at a young age when she played the piano and performed at various functions under the name of ‘Little Miss Foster’; on one occasion even performing at the White House. This hilarious farce picks up her story in 1940’s New York.

Tickets can be purchased from the website wharftheatre.co.uk and at the Devizes Community Hub and Library on Sheep Street.
