Audience Comment
“It was always there, behind that locked door. It always is – one’s past. I was simply choosing not to see it.”
Autumn 1951, and as the Festival of Britain draws to a close and a General Election looms closer, acclaimed actress Irene Trevarrick is enjoying a triumphant return to the London stage. Behind the scenes however, Ivy Little is harbouring a shocking secret from Irene’s pre-war past. In an age when today’s level of press intrusion into the private lives of celebrities was unimaginable, Ivy knows her revelation will have a devastating effect on Irene’s carefully nurtured reputation and career. With both their futures at stake, she can only bide her time and wait patiently for her moment.
A compelling new drama premiered by Guildburys Theatre Company and winner of a NODA Accolade of Excellence
