The Rise and Disguise of Elizabeth R at Hayes Theatre Co

Gerry Connolly is a familiar and much-loved face in Australia. Perhaps his most enduring performance has been his inhabitation of Queen Elizabeth II. Over four decades, his loving (and uncanny) representation of her, full of dry wit and surprising ingenuity, has become an Australian icon. This brand new story brings to life many of Gerrys brilliant alter-egos, from Her Maj, her son, her bte noir the Baroness Thatcher, her Australian PMs to other famous home-grown personalities As the Queen nears the end of her reign, this show explores her history, her hidden personality, and the weird sense of intimacy that has developed for Gerry over decades of walking in the shoes of The Monarch.
