Madame Tussaud - Waxing Lyrical. This one-woman play explores the life and legacy of Marie Tussaud, who escaped the guillotine and survived the horrors of the French Revolution. She toured Britain for thirty three gruelling years with her travelling wax cabinet, bringing up her little boy, fighting off competition against a background of fire, riot, shipwreck and betrayal. She personified persistence, fortitude and self-belief. She manipulated the public fascination with Celebrity and created her own version of Spin. Starring Judith Paris (London Road, Touch of Frost))
