A critically acclaimed one-women play starring Amanda Muggleton, based on the life of
Australian legendary star of stage and screen, Coral Browne, puts the Grande Dame back
in the spotlight where she belongs.
Diva, adventuress, beauty, wit… the flamboyant Coral Browne travelled a world away from her
humble Australian beginnings to become the toast of the London stage in the 1940s.
Sexually adventurous, with a deliciously bawdy wit, Coral was as well known for her glamorous
lifestyle as she was for her memorable stage and screen performances (Auntie Mame, The
Killing of Sister George, Dennis Potter’s Dreamchild and Alan Bennett’s An Englishman Abroad).
She had a string of famous lovers, including Paul Robeson and Maurice Chevalier, and enjoyed
a late-life marriage to the king of schlock horror, Vincent Price.
In this critically-acclaimed one-woman play, the wonderful Amanda Muggleton (The Book
Club, Hollyoaks, Prisoner Cell Block H) brings Coral Browne to sparkling life and puts this
Grande Dame back in the spotlight where she belongs.
