The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama invites guests from the Fishmongers’ Company to a production of the musical Betty Blue Eyes, performed and produced by final-year students on the BA Acting and Musical Theatre and Theatre Practice courses.
Nominated for best new musical at the 2011 Olivier Awards, Betty Blue Eyes was adapted from the 1984 film A Private Function, written by Alan Bennett. A sharply observed social satire of post-war Britain, Betty Blue Eyes tells the story of an eccentric cast of characters in a Yorkshire community, and Betty, the pig, who is being reared on the black market for the upcoming Royal Wedding.
