3. La Goulue
How much longer can a greedy dancer stay on the stage? Toulouse Lautrec's characters come to life. Stars Frances Barber.
Dancer Louise's nickname of La Goulue is singularly appropriate - she's a glutton for food and life...
Starring Frances Barber.
When the Moulin Rouge cabaret opened in Montmartre, Paris in 1889, Toulouse-Lautrec was commissioned to paint a series of posters. A performer's career was made if they secured an appearance.
John Peacock brings Toulouse Lautrec's poster characters to life, in the first of four plays about those entertainers, whose lives were as vivid as Lautrec's paint.
