Maurice's Jubilee by Nichola Mcauliffe
A Royal encounter. An enduring love. A bungalow in Penge. For 60 years Helena has been Queen of Maurice's heart. But his Great Love is another Queen. The Queen Helena says he's never met. Maurice's Jubilee, a new play by award winning actress and writer Nichola McAuliffe, is a funny and poignant exploration of one man's enduring commitment to a dream. And an eternal love triangle fallen on hard times...
"McAuliffe proves herself a more than promising playwrightThere's a touch of Alan Bennett in the spry wit - A longer life for the play looks a must - " 4 stars - Telegraph 'finely observed - strong and polished" - The Stage 'deeply moving and surprising' - What's On Stage 'interesting and quirky' - Independent"
