WONDERFUL
2022/23
Direction by Richard Huber, with performances by Sarah Barham and Blaise Barham.
'Wonderful' is a romantic comedy about the divine Lady Hermione and her loyal butler Roberts, as they grapple with the important issues of modern life - biscuits, trousers, sausages, art and what to do about Penelope. Set in England, during the witty and just a little bit notorious roaring 20s, its characters cast aside the darkness, despair and bad poetry from the Great War and fall headlong into the brave new world of martinis, monocles, romance, and fountains.
