Event Description
Apollo Theatre Company presents, by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd on behalf of Samuel French Ltd, Ode to Joyce: A selection of the songs and monologues of Joyce Grenfell, adapted and performed by Cheryl Knight and directed by Paul Knight.
Joyce Grenfell was one of the greatest female entertainers of the twentieth century, loved all over the world for her hilarious and beautifully observed monologues and songs, as well as numerous film, television and radio appearances. Conceived to mark her centenary year and playing to sell-out audiences at the Edinburgh Festival, this revue has been delighting theatre-goers ever since. In this gem of nostalgia, which recreates the setting of one of Joyce’s stage shows, Cheryl Knight, starring in her own adaptation, captures Grenfell’s spirit through the well-known songs and monologues as well as some of her more delicate and poignant pieces.
