✨ New Zealand Premiere! ✨
Marion Crawford, affectionately known as “Crawfie”, spent sixteen years as nanny to the young princesses Elizabeth and Margaret.
Melanie Tait has constructed a superbly written, witty, insightful and poignant play examining the power, sacrifice, hurt and betrayal of a time in history when loyalty was demanded, the barriers of class were strictly defined, and the right to tell one’s own story was non-existent.
Director Simon Prast steers this personal drama, a commentary on class and the monarchy, into an unmissable night of theatre, with an exceptional cast.
Anna Jullienne plays Crawfie, balancing humour and heartbreak as her loyalty is questioned.
Laura Hill is the Queen Mother, expertly defining the machinations of the House of Windsor, both funny and at times faintly ridiculous.
The third cast member is Jack Buchanan, who has the task of portraying seven characters throughout the play, led by the narrator, steering the action almost as a ringmaster. He also manages to become a butler, an American editor, Crawfie’s fiancée and even a young Elizabeth!
Needless to say, another Tadpole masterpiece not to be missed.
