Queen Bette @ Kings Head Theatre

"The Queen has no hour for love. Time presses, and events crowd upon her. And for a shell, an empty, glistening husk, she must give up all that a woman holds most dear." Bette Davis was a true movie legend. This acclaimed one-woman show retraces her remarkable steps, from fledgling stage actress via an unrivalled glittering movie career that also saw her battling the Studios in an unprecedented attempt to gain independence as an artist. Davis fought hard all her life, had four husbands, two Oscars, played Elizabeth I twice and had a reputation as the biggest bitch in Hollywood. Queen Bette tells the whole story I have never been able to keep my mouth shut. Now mine was a voice that couldnt be ignored
