Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
This hilarious one man show starring Ian Stark is based upon the fictitious secret diaries of old queen William Tallon, one time Steward and Page of the Backstairs to HRH Queen Elizabeth the Queen Mother. During 40 years of service Billy, with discretion and diplomacy tidied up every little Royal mishap. He played Dame in the Christmas Panto, danced with Her Maj and even sprayed air freshener whenever Prince Philip let one off. With a superb script and faultless acting we hear all the secrets Princess Anne refusing to stop smoking indoors even after the fire at Windsor, Her Maj welcoming Chinese Ambassadors Mr Woo and Mr Wang, and the visit by Tony and Cherie Blair when a salt shaker went missing! Written, Directed and produced by Graham Woolnough Director Graham Woolnough has created a delightful and touching production and Ian Stark should become a national treasure.
