| Description: |
Based on the life of Florence Foster Jenkins, Glorious! tells the
true story of the eccentric American otherwise known as the "socialite
soprano".
During the 1930s and '40s, the somewhat delusional singer made
a career out of doing concerts, although she couldn't hit a single
note. The "dire diva of din" recorded many records, including
one entitled Murder on the High Cs and perhaps her most famous recording
of Mozart's Queen of the Night aria.
After doing a series of private concerts at the Ritz Carlton in
New York, the singer braved Carnegie Hall - and sold out months
in advance.
Starring Maureen
Lipman as 'Florence Foster Jenkins' with Barrie Ingham, William
Oxborrow, Josie Kidd, Lolly Susi and Janie Booth.

Simon Hench is witty, urbane, sophisticated, selfish and accustomed
to keeping himself at a graceful distance from the messy distractions
of his family and friends. He has a problem, though – well,
several actually – only he just doesn't know it yet. As Simon
settles in for a quiet Saturday night with his new recording of
Wagner's Parsifal, he is besieged by a steady stream of unwelcome
visitors, and his usually cool demeanour begins to buckle as life
finally catches up with him.
Stars Richard
E. Grant as 'Simon Hench' along with Anthony Head as 'Jeff Golding'
and David Bamber as 'Bernard Wood'.
