The Singular Life of Albert Nobbs
THE SINGULAR LIFE OF ALBERT NOBBS
By Simone Benmussa, translated by Barbara Wright
A strange life his was, and mysterious – mysterious, because when he died, we learnt that Albert was a woman.
1860s Dublin. Albert Nobbs is an apparently unassuming and exemplary waiter in a large hotel. However, he is harbouring a secret that remains largely undiscovered until his death: he is actually a woman, posing as a man in order to obtain work and avoid destitution. But this leads to destitution of a more personal kind, as ‘Albert’ can only stumble through life, wondering ‘what if…?’ until a chance encounter with a fellow ‘perhapser’ leaves ‘him’ clinging to unrealistic dreams of domestic happiness.
Following a succesful run in the Everyman Studio Theatre in April, the 'Wrens' are heading to North Devon to perform the show at Fringe TheatreFest. We would love to see you there!

The Three Musketeers
Mesdames et Messieurs! Jenny Wren Productions transporte vous à 17th century Paris avec The Three Musketeers, classique tale of D’Artagnan et ses amis.
Après a few scrapes, le jeune D’Artagnan est ready pour un challenge. He must voyage to Angleterre on an undercover mission of grande importance; to recover the Queen’s diamonds – quelle intrigue! He is aided par les trois Musketeers et la belle Constance – quelle amour! – but hampered by femme fatale Milady de Winter – quelle horreur!
Un story of sword-fighting, scheming, spying and secret rendez-vous, this is action-packed fun pour toute la famille – quel spectacle!
All for one and one for all – will D’Artagnan save le jour?
Funny Boy
Jenny Wren Productions return to the Everyman Studio Theatre with Funny Boy, a new play developed from last year’s The Pygmalion Project.
Set in 1969, in the stable of a large country house, this is a modern take on an old story about status, society and success. Mother and son sneak separately to the stable for a secret cigarette. The stable is home to a promising young racehorse, cared for by two women who love and cherish him as the mother loves and cherishes the son. Many hopes lie on the son and the horse, but can they be fulfilled? Is success dependent on fame and breeding?
“I'm the greatest star, I am, by far, but no one knows it.”
