Meeting Bea by Eric Pringle

Here in Britain I have been enjoying two television comedy series – “Waiting for God” & “Keeping Up Appearances”.

The stars of which are the stars of this fine offering.... ENJOY

Interesting biographical play about the later life of Beatrix Potter, who wrote the books about Jemimah Puddleduck, Mrs. Tiggywinkle, and other familiar children's characters. Potter had overbearing upper-class parents who made her early adult life very unhappy; in fact she was well over forty before she broke away from them and married her publisher. She spent about a decade writing and illustrating the works for which she is so famous.

Afterwards, she put the books behind her, moved to the Lake District and bought land and farmed sheep.

The play looks at her life from the point of view of the young Sally Worboyes (now also a well-known artist and writer) and her American publisher.

The time is 1927.

Stephanie Cole plays the hard-bitten Beatrix Potter, and Clive Swift her second husband.

With Ed Bishop as Alexander McKay and Caroline Strong as Sally Worboys.

The producer was Adrian Bean.
