Foursight presents:

Bette & Joan: The Final Curtain

in a co-production with Jacksons Lane and Richard Jordan Productions Ltd, in association with mac, Birmingham and Assembly

“You should only say good of the dead. Joan Crawford is dead. Good” Bette Davis.

Now on her own deathbed, Davis is forced by Hollywood hacks Hedda Hopper and Louella Parsons to finally confront the ghost of her nemesis, Crawford herself. And of course, just because someone’s dead doesn’t mean they’ve changed.

This new comedic play by Foursight Theatre (creators of Thatcher The Musical!) is a wry, feisty and irreverent look at two of Hollywood’s greatest icons and their equally famous feud.

“Sharp, imaginative, intelligent... and extremely funny” BBC Front Row on Foursight Theatre

“The best time I had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane” Bette Davis

“Take away those pop eyes, the cigarette, those funny clipped words, and what have you got?” Joan Crawford
