National treasure Dame Maureen Lipman takes centre stage as Allegra, marking her first UK tour in 20 years. Beloved by millions for her role in Coronation Street and celebrated for her extraordinary career across stage and screen, Dame Maureen brings her trademark warmth, wit and emotional depth to this funny and deeply moving new play.
Allegra is full of life, joy and an irresistible urge to sing. She bursts into song at home, in the street and even in the local shops and cafés. Sometimes the orchestra plays only in her imagination. Sometimes it spills gloriously into the real world, much to the delight, confusion and occasional horror of everyone around her.
Her devoted brother Ronen and her carer Anna do their best to keep life steady, but how do you protect someone you love without dimming the light that makes them who they are?
Directed and choreographed by three time Olivier Award winner Stephen Mear, this uplifting production also features familiar faces including Bailey Patrick of Bridgerton, John Middleton, known to many from Coronation Street and Emmerdale, and Elizabeth Bower of Coronation Street.
Perfect for audiences who cherish laughter, music and performances from actors they know and love, Allegra is a tender and life affirming story about family, love and holding on to joy for as long as possible.
