Marie Lloyd, Queen of the Halls
Three husbands, but an adoring public coming out in thousands for the funeral of the music hall star. Stars Elizabeth Mansfield.
After collapsing on stage one day in 1922, Marie Lloyd lies dying, battered by life, drink and hard work.
Raunchy to the end, the great music hall star recalls her songs, her audiences, her husbands and her triumphs and disasters.
Steve Trafford's adaptation of his stage play stars Elizabeth Mansfield, who played Marie in the original one-woman show.
