Becoming Hattie

Becoming Hattie

Show type: Theatre

It’s 1974 and 8-year old Jo is snuggled up on the settee idly glancing at the telly when there, on the screen, is a woman unlike anyone Jo has ever seen on TV.

That woman is Hattie Jacques.

Forty years later, and Jo has followed Hattie’s footsteps; she too is an actress, but why does she only get cast as the nurse, never the surgeon? Has nothing changed for women like Jo since Hattie did Carry On?

Thoughtful, funny, warm and nostalgic, this one woman show is an affectionate look at the life and career of a remarkable woman and a witty, caustic look at modern life in show business.
