Joan, Babs & Shelagh Too

Work:: Joan, Babs & Shelagh Too (S2146736033)

This is a Joan show made Joan's way. It is Joan's life story told partially in Joan's own words, partly through those of her most famed collaborators and a lot of text has been in-tuned through improvisation. The show explores what made Joan the idiosyncratic character that she was. Joan Babs & Shelagh Too takes the audience on a journey through the rapidly changing theatrical landscape of 20th century Britain, from Joan's childhood in post World War One London, passing through Manchester where she formed her political ideology, to the explosion of success that was Theatre Workshop at Stratford East's Theatre Royal in the 50's and 60's.
