The Governor's Consort
Lady Edith's life-changing boat ride to the South Atlantic. Written by Peter Tinniswood for Mary Wimbush. With John Moffatt.
Mary Wimbush stars as Lady Edith in this play written specially for her by Peter Tinniswood.
Lady Edith is sailing with her husband to the tiny South Atlantic island of St David's, of which he's about to become Governor.
Her fellow passengers, not to mention the crew and the exuberant band on board, produce an invigorating and somewhat earthy effect on her Ladyship.
She's a frustrated woman of 'a certain age' with a vivid imagination....
