“Finds new terrain”

The Guardian on Clare Norburn's writing​

​​​

The very private PL Travers (Lottie Walker) lives quietly in Chelsea. Out of the blue, her very own creation, Mary Poppins (Joanna Brown), suddenly appears in Travers’ study, asking difficult questions Travers would rather not answer. Rather than the Banks family, Mary Poppins has come to sort out the acerbic PL Travers herself. But Travers is a force to be reckoned with too. So who will control the narrative and win the battle of wills?

 

Soundtracking the fun-filled chaos, Mary Poppins, handily equipped with an accordion, performs the kind of music PL Travers really wanted in the Mary Poppins film - including Edwardian songs such as Lily of Laguna.

​

A collaboration project with Blue Fire Theatre. ​Award-winning writer Clare Norburn's brand new play with music, directed by BAFTA-nominated BBC director, Nicholas Renton (Mrs Gaskell’s Wives and Daughters, Musketeers, Lewis). Starring acclaimed actor Lottie Walker as PL Travers and actor-musician Joanna Brown as Mary Poppins​.​​
