The Essence of Audrey

Presented as part of Ripon Theatre Festival. Audrey Hepburn. All she really wanted was to be loved and to find love. She was, and continues to be, an inspiration. A beautiful, modest actress, and Ambassador of UNICEF living a seemingly idyllic life. Audrey proved to be one of those rare people who truly deserved ‘fashion icon’ status, but what made her into the star we think we know? Writer and performer Helen Anker shares Audrey’s successes and failures, her triumphs and disappointments, confronting her anxieties and fears and finding the truth she’s never been able to voice before. Helen Anker has been treading the boards since the age of 9, playing roles in West End productions, on Broadway, and in numerous regional productions. She has recently toured internationally as Tanya in Mamma Mia! and as Cynthia Murphy in Dear Evan Hansen. “Fascinating, interesting, wonderful. Don’t miss it!” Maureen Lipman Sponsored by Ripon Rowels Rotary Club Tickets £12
