SUMMARY:Event T04: Poisoned Beds
DESCRIPTION:Who would have believed that 120 years ago\, local water companies would pump untreated sewage into Chichester Harbour at Emsworth\, the famous home of the finest oyster beds in Europe? \nPoisoned Beds is set in December 1918. Elizabeth Wells is preparing a concert to celebrate women’s suffrage and the end of the Great War. But she cannot celebrate the future without reconciling herself to her tragic past. \nElizabeth recounts her captivating story of one woman’s personal liberation set against the fight for suffrage and the death of the Victorian oyster industry. \nPoisoned Beds is a collaboration between Lucy Flannery and Greg Mosse\, two highly-regarded theatre writers\, and the play will delight audiences with its clever combination of comedy and pathos\, sharp dialogue\, unexpected plot twists and wonderfully witty lyrics. \nWest End actress Paula Tinker gives a virtuoso performance in this superb one-act script\, accompanied on stage by much-loved theatre composer John Gleadall. After a short interval\, there will be a chance for the audience to join in more songs of the sea and have an informal chat with the performers. Be prepared to sing! \n‘A fascinating play\, excellently performed by Paula Tinker\, ably accompanied by musician and lyricist John Gleadall’ – Londonpubtheatres.com
