The latest collaboration between 'Superbly gifted’ actor and singer, Lucy Stevens and pianist Elizabeth Marcus. Directed by award winning cabaret artist Sarah-Louise Young.
Gertrude Lawrence, the 1930’s star of musical comedy tells her story. Lucy Stevens has cleverly crafted a new vibrant script using Gertrude Lawrence’s own words taken from her memoirs.
With songs and storytelling, Lucy embodies the spirit of Gertie, leading the audience from her childhood in Clapham, to London’s swanky night clubs and the bright lights of Broadway.
Funny, revealing and bursting with songs from Variety & Revue’s to hits by Noel Coward, Kurt Weill and Rodgers & Hammerstein.
“A wonderful show, utterly brilliant. Fabulous singing – ‘lovely’ is actually a massive understatement.” - Nigel Foster, Director London Song Festival
“We were mesmerised by Gertie and her story. The era and nods to history, music and her wit with, a lift of an eyebrow – and the use of the stole! Blooming marvellous!” - Phoenix Arts Club, London.

I am so pleased I was able to see the film, as is was intended on the big screen. Much better than watching it at home on the television.

Most films we've seen are enjoyable, well-chosen for the audience and very entertaining at times. Very well run by the group, especially the refreshments at intermission.

An exciting community resource in this isolated village. 'A taste of culture'.

This venue at Tasley is extremely well organised, films are well varied for a mixed audience.

The organisers were very welcoming and offered drinks and cake as everyone arrived. The film (Ali & Ava) was different and gave an insight to other peoples lives. This is why I go to Flicks in the Sticks : to see other films rather than Box Office blockbusters and get a glimpse into other cultures around the world.
