Book Synopsis

This was your first go. Did Shakespeare let Titus Andronicus put him off? An experimental tragedy about a pie. You've just begun.

Mrs Sarah Siddons, acclaimed as the greatest actress of all time, holds complete sway over audiences and critics alike. Behind the scenes, however, she herself is subject to direction from her bone-headed brother, Kemble, who runs the Drury Lane theatre and chooses her roles.

Sick of being cast as tragic, wounded mothers, Siddons decides it's time to harness her star power and become the leading lady of her own life. But she reckons without the absurdly comic plot twists of a life on the stage.

The Divine Mrs S opened at Hampstead Theatre, London, in March 2024.
