Bryony Lavery's bodice-ripping musical pastiche of the Mills & Boon genre Her Aching Heart comes to The Hope Theatre this winter, rounding off the theatre's Gothic Season with the third in-house show of 2016 following on the heels of this summer's five-star hit Steel Magnolias. Broadway World has a first look at the cast of this Her Aching Heart in action below!
In Her Aching Heart two heartbroken women (Naomi Todd as 'Molly' and Colette Eaton as 'Harriet') jump between the pages of the same bonk-busting paperback - and play all the parts between them! Joyfully peppered with torch songs and sapphic tomfoolery, Her Aching Heart was 1992 Pink Paper Play of The Year.
Revived in time for its 25th Anniversary by The Hope Theatre in a co-production with LWL Entertainment, and is directed by The Hope Theatre's Artistic Director Matthew Parker, with newly composed music by Ian Brandon.
With turns sweet, silly and saucy, this rarely performed gem looks set to be a fantastic alternative Christmas show, running from November 29th up until December 23rd. For more information and to book tickets, visit www.thehopetheatre.com/productions/her-aching-heart.
