Description

An American divorcee, a besotted Prince and a constitutional crisis – sound familiar? But this was 1936. Focusing on her six weeks staying incognito in Felixstowe on the Suffolk coast as she waited for her divorce – this play looks at Wallis Simpson's doubts and indecisions through her letters to her husband Ernest and the explosive circumstances that rocked the monarchy and ultimately led to the King's abdication and Princess Elizabeth eventually becoming Queen. With film footage of the places she stayed and live music from the time.
