THE QUEEN'S NANNY
By Melanie Tait
Directed by Priscilla Jackman

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 sparkling new comedy drama.

Marion ‘Crawfie’ Crawford adored her job as governess to Princesses Lilibet and Margaret Rose… until she was ostracised without warning, 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 sell-out success of THE APPLETON LADIES’ POTATO RACE, this blackly funny play imagines a series of pivotal moments between two strong-spirited women harbouring complicated resentment.
 

★★★★ “tartly funny and inventive” - Limelight

★★★★1/2 “superbly written” - Musical Theatre AU

★★★★ "Melanie Tait has threaded the needle between sensationalist drama and cosy character study with the skill of a master seamstress." - Cultural Binge
