Glorious! The True Story of Florence Foster - Jenkins
The Worst Singer in the World
By Peter Quilter
Glorious! is a joyous and heart-warming comedy play based on the real life of 1940's New York socialite Florence Foster Jenkins who had a passion for singing but a voice for disaster.
Considered by many to be "The worst singer in the world" & "The First Lady of the sliding scale", she gave private recitals to fans, including Cole Porter, made bizarre recordings and gave a legendary sold out performance at New York's Carnegie Hall at the age of 76.
This delusional and joyously happy woman paid little attention to her critics, instead she surrounded herself with a circle of devoted friends who were almost as eccentric as she was. It's a story about friends who embraced their delusions and had courage enough to follow their dreams, no matter what.
