Wyngarde! A Celebration + Queen Bette

Date: 22 Jan 2019

G.bod Theatre present double bill of solo performances celebrating the lives of two very different movie icons.

Actor Peter Wyngarde, Britain’s Best Dressed Personality (1970) and best known for playing the moustachioed TV sleuth Jason King, was one of Britain’s best-known faces until, in 1975, he spectacularly fell from grace after his conviction for gross indecency. Garth Holcombe stars.

In Queen Bette, Jeanette Cronin reprises her acclaimed Bette Davis in a show in which the inimitable Hollywood legend talks life, art, four husbands, two Oscars and the building of a reputation that characterised her as Tinseltown’s uber-bitch.
