Madame Blavatsky Lives

Synopsis:
Have you ever wanted to know about the future? Do you dream of wealth and happiness? Madam Blavatsky Lives will change your mind forever. It is a comedy which shows the affect of an all-knowing spiritualist on the lives of three women. Two of them are suddenly faced with dreadful futures and the other is suffused in happiness. Which one of them will be faced with their worst fear? Will the predictions come true? all of them? None of them? This play will make you laugh at their predicaments and cry at their heartbreaks. You will never think of fortune telling in the same way again!

Mistresses

Synopsis:
Stories of love, lust and laughter by JOAN GReeNING. Nell Gwynn's story is told by a London prostitute who both envies and loathes Nellie for her success with Charles II. they are both actresses during the time of the Restoration and were deadly rivals on the stage. Queen Adelaide relates her heartbreak at William IV's continuing desire for the dead Dorothy Jordan. His passion is unabated and he wants to procure a great honour for his deceased mistress. the Queen's anger is understandable but comic. Lillie Langtry is lighthearted about her affair with Edward VII and many others. She makes an important decision about her future helped by Oscar Wilde. Her zest for life is entrancing and uplifting. Fanny Cornforth is constant in her love for Dante Gabriel Rossetti and her jealousy of Elizabeth Siddal is a constant irritant to her. Who will be the winner in this love triangle? Does Fanny triumph over Elizabeth only to come up against a more dangerous rival. Jane Morris - dark looks, dark personality appears to win Rossetti's heart but who will prevail in the end - all is fair in love and war. these are stories of real women who have known great love. they are told with bawdy humour, unabashed vanity, heart-rending longing and carefree abandon.
