"“I have never been able to keep my mouth shut... Now mine was a voice that couldn’t be ignored,” - Bette Davis

A true movie legend from the prime era of Hollywood icons, Bette Davis left her legacy on the world as one of the best leading ladies to ever grace the big screen - and now, you're invited to watch her talent evolve live on stage. 

Starring Jeanette Cronin as Davis in this unforgettable one-woman-show, retrace her famous footsteps all the way from fledgling stage actress to the unrivalled stardom that made her a household name for decades. 

One of the best up-and-coming plays in London

"A 3-D, fully realised woman in a richly fascinating story that plays out over a tantalising 70 minute solo show. An absorbing yet light-hearted docudrama that brings to vivid life one of Hollywood’s pioneering greats. The real royal deal." - Stage Noise

Fighting for her life every single day, Davis battled with Studios as she attempts to gain independence as a solo star, tackled four husbands, won two Oscars and accepted the ultimate role of the reigning meanest Monarch, Queen Elizabeth I. 

Alongside becoming notorious with her demeanor amongst Hollywood stars, Queen Bette is here to tell you the whole story - on screen, on stage, and behind-the-scenes.

“Even if your interest in Davis is fleeting, this engrossing little showcase is worth seeking out. A top stage moment of the year" - Sydney Morning Herald
