Adorable Dora

Information

'Tarts and barmaids. I just took whatever came along!’

West End Diva Rosie Ashe pays tribute to national treasure Dora Bryan, whose showbiz career spanned eight decades! From pantomime to Shakespeare, Carry On films to a BAFTA winning role in A Taste of Honey, she did it all! TV sitcoms included Dinner Ladies, AbFab and Last of The Summer Wine. She made millions laugh but her personal life was a rollercoaster. Expect fun, music & laughter with excerpts from Hello Dolly, The Water Gypsies and many more.

Christopher Biggins, himself an iconic figure in British theatre history, has seen the show and immediately had this to say; "Last night I went to the Jermyn St Theatre off Piccadilly to see Adorable Dora, a show about Dora Bryan, who was not just someone I worked in pantomime with, but also a very close friend of mine. Rosemary Ashe has resurrected her in the most extraordinary way so that Dora has not left us at all, but is alive and well and living off Piccadilly which is pertinent as she played so many ladies of the night! Not only does Rosie look and sound like her, she manages to convey the very essence, fun, eccentricity and flamboyance of this wonderful, wonderful actress. I urge everyone to beg, steal or borrow a ticket."
