POWERFUL AND GRIPPING DRAMA
Patricia Routledge stars in
Crown Matrimonial
Patricia Routledge heads an exceptional cast in this powerful and gripping drama, focusing on the crisis which faces the nation when Edward VIII declares his deep love for Wallis Simpson. Unswayed by the prospect of public scandal, family upheaval and even abdication, he is insistent that he will marry the woman he loves. The King’s determination brings about the first great crisis of the monarchy in the 20th century, prefiguring the events portrayed in the award-winning film The Queen.
This captivating new production is directed by David Grindley, whose West End and Broadway credits include Journey’s End, National Anthems (with Kevin Spacey), Some Girls(s) (with David Schwimmer) and Abigail’s Party.
It beautifully captures the atmosphere of the Royal Household in the 1930s and its themes are as resonant today as seventy years ago. This is a unique opportunity to witness one of our country’s favourite actresses in a touching portrayal of one of the nation’s most enigmatic queens.
