1940. The Germans advance on Paris. A case stuffed with letters is smuggled to London. Inside, a remarkable story about – and by – two remarkable people: the brilliant actress ‘Mrs Pat’ and George Bernard Shaw. They met in 1899. They made Pygmalion. World Wars started and stopped, and started again. They fell in love. They fell apart. And through it all… they wrote.
Meanwhile, the creative team behind the production includes: Set and Costume Designer: Tom Paris; Lighting Designer: Chris McDonnell; Composer and Sound Designer: Harry Blake and Associate Director and Movement Director: Elliot Pritchard
