Ode To Joyce review
Joyce Grenfell was a pioneer in British theatre, comedy and song. Most well known for her comic monologues and songwriting, she changed the way we see performance today and inspired many others to create characters based on her (Jean Brodie being an example). In this show inspired by one of her many performances, Cheryl Knight and Paul Knight joined forces, paying tribute to this inspirational icon.
