The Queen's Nanny | Ensemble Theatre
Inspired by historical events, a royal scandal ignites a blistering fire between the steely Queen Mother and her children’s doting nanny in Melanie Tait’s sparkling new comedy-drama.
Marion ‘Crawfie’ Crawford adored her job as governess to Princesses Lilibet and Margaret Rose… until she was ostracised without warning, despite dedicating the best part of her life to raising, educating and caring for the young royals. The reason? A tell-all memoir.
From the creative team behind the sell-out success of The Appleton Ladies’ Potato Race, this blackly funny play imagines a series of pivotal moments between two strong-spirited women harbouring complicated resentment.
The Queen’s Nanny was commissioned by Ensemble Theatre through its Commissioner’s Circle.
This project has been assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its principal arts investment and advisory body.
