World Premiere: co-commissioned by Brighton Festival
A theatrical encounter with a truly remarkable person,Ā StellaĀ is a new show inspired by the strange life and lonely death of Ernest Boulton ā one half of the now-infamous Victorian cross-dressing duo Fanny and Stella.
Intimate and emotional, scandalous and glamorous,Ā StellaĀ uses two performers, an empty stage and a haunting real-life story to ask what it might take to truly be yourself.
Neil Bartlett, one of Britain’s most individual theatre-makers, makes a welcome return to Brighton Festival following his much-lauded staging ofĀ Britten: The CanticlesĀ with Ian Bostridge in 2013.
