A stunning solo show about the turbulent life of glamorous sitcom legend Yootha Joyce.

Adored by friends and fans alike; hiding acute alcoholism from those closest to her; and lighting up the screen as Mildred Roper in Man about the House and George and Mildred, Yootha Joyce died at the height of her fame at only 53.

It could have been worse. It could have been a wet Wednesday at Rhyl.

Caroline Burns Cooke – writer of the award-winning shows And the Rope Still Tugging at her Feet and Proxy – presents her third solo show to examine the life of glamorous sitcom legend Yootha Joyce.

The production is directed by Mark Farrelly who brought Quentin Crisp - Naked Hope and The Silence of Snow to The Georgian Theatre Royal.

‘Burns Cooke is a superb actress…a play that transcends its subject’- The Wee Review

‘A warm and interactive performance that tugs at the heart strings’ - Edinburgh Evening News

‘A consummate performer and a fitting tribute to an icon’ - One4Review
