The SCANDAL Season HILDA AND VIRGINIA By Maureen Duffy A World Premiere Directed by Natasha Rickman Thom Collins Lighting Designer Anna Clock Sound Design and Composition Verity Johnson- Production Designer The formidably versatile Maureen Duffy The TLS Starring: Sarah Crowden No one is ever truthful. Everyone shifts, makes shift, is shifty and shiftless together, is a chameleon and a shape-changer. Maureen Duffys double-bill tells the story of two remarkable women. The Choice is the story of a very unsaintly saint. Hilda of Whitby, who brought Christianity to the Anglo-Saxons, was a businesswoman, teacher and adviser to kings. In A Nightingale in Bloomsbury Square, Virginia Woolf looks back on her life, uncovering the hidden stories behind her iconic novels. From the torture of depression to the scandal of her lesbian affairs, Virginia goes down fighting. As the saying goes: well-behaved women dont make history Playwright, poet, novelist, biographer, Maureen Duffy burst onto the British theatre scene with her National Theatre debut in 1968, Rites. Duffys work since includes the hugely influential The Microcosm, and the Londoners trilogy has enshrined her as one of our most important contemporary writers. Sarah Crowden is known for her appearances in Dustin Hoffmans Quartet and as Lady Manville in Downton Abbey. Natasha Rickman is Artistic Associate at Jermyn Street Theatre and the co-founder and Director of Women at RADA.
