2023 Edinburgh Fringe

The Victorian music hall: a hotbed of scandal and home of betrayal, discrimination, sexual exploitation, domestic violence and press intrusion. They don't seem such "good old days" now, do they? Nelly Power lived a life that was its own Victorian melodrama. She was a trailblazer for women's rights, darling of the gossip columns and headliner at all the major theatres - until her most famous song was stolen by the young Marie Lloyd. This is her story; It's a bit Ripper Street and a bit Eastenders, with songs.
