Rossetti’s Stunners

Another chance to see Rossetti’s Stunners, one of the original hits from this year’s Wanstead Fringe

The famed Pre-Raphaelite painter, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, immortalised ordinary women as goddesses in art and called them ‘Stunners’. In this entertaining one-woman drama written and performed by Elaine Britten, three audacious women find their voices. From the back alleys of Oxford, to Water House in Walthamstow and on to mansions in Chelsea and Hammersmith, Rossetti’s Stunners leave the picture frame and walk among us.

Sometimes you win ugly: Fanny Cornforth is the mistress of social mobility and Jane Morris can pass as a Duchess in any drawing room, Alexa Wilding is just not that bothered!

Influenced by Horrible Histories and Reduced Shakespeare, this show is part theatre, part lecture, part riff on beauty, gender and class.
