The Queen’s Nanny

Inspired by historical events, a royal scandal ignites a blistering fire between the steely Queen Mother and her children’s doting nanny in Melanie Tait’s new comedic drama, The Queen’s Nanny. The production comes to Wollongong directly from its world premiere season at Sydney’s Ensemble Theatre. Marion ‘Crawfie’ Crawford adored her job as governess to Princesses Lilibet and Margaret Rose… until she was ostracised, despite dedicating the best part of her life to raising, educating and caring for the young royals. The reason? A tell-all memoir. From the creative team behind the nationwide success of The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race (now a feature film starring Claire Van De Boom), this black comedy imagines a series of pivotal moments between two strong-spirited women harbouring complicated resentment. By Melanie Tait Directed by Priscilla Jackman Entry Cost All tickets $59 - A per transaction fee of $6.95 applies for phone and online bookings.
