By special arrangement with Samuel French, Ltd. Florence Foster Jenkins? "People may say I can't sing, but no one can ever say I didn't sing." -- Florence Foster Jenkins Born in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, Florence Foster Jenkins enjoyed a fairly prive­ leged childhood, filled with typical childhood joys such as music lessons. She was actually an accomplished pianist, performing solos with Sagafests and was billed in programs as "Little Miss Foster". At age seventeen, she announced her desire to study music in Europe. Her father, however, refused to pay for such extravagance. To escape her home life, she eloped with Frank Thorton Jenkins and moved to Phila­ delphia. Her husband was not enthusiastic about her desire for a musical career and the marriage ended in divorce in 1902. After the divorce and her move to New York, Florence managed to earn an humble living as piano teacher until her father's death. Despite their tense relationship, her father left her a sizable fortune that allowed her by Peter Quilter to live comfortably. She hurt her arm in an accident and stopped playing the piano. However, she did begin taking voice lessons quite seriously. Florence also immerced herself into the glittering scene of New York's fashionable ladies clubs and even Artistic Staff started her own club, The Verdi Club. For the club's events, Florence would create Director/Co-Set Design Jae Alder extravagant costumes and dramatically perform music by an astounding variety of Co-Set Design Barbara Murrell composers. These performances became legendary because her horrible singing Sound Design Richard Frohlich voice was hilarious. Florence, however, believed she was a truly beautiful singer. Costume Design Michael Robinson She was aware of her critics and the incredible laughter during her performances, Lighting Design Russell Dyer & Kelly Smith but she simply explained it was nothing but professional jealousy. She made a vanity recording at Melotone Records and in a review, Time Magazine said she sounded like Cast "a cuckoo in its cups".

Mr. Ritwik Kaikini 2020, The Stare of a Locked Cupboard in Sciphiweb Repository on Science, Philosophy & Gaming, Retrieve from : http//sciphiweb.com/blogdetails.php?id=VGxSBIBRPTO= Film Review The Stare of a Locked Cupboard A review of Judy (2019) directed by Rupert Goold, Produced by David Livingstone, Screenplay by Tom Edge, Based on End of the Rainbow by Peter Quilter, starring Renée Zellweger, Finn Wittrock, Jessie Buckley, Rufus Sewell, Michael Gambon. Music by Gabriel Yared, Cinematography Ole Bratt Birkeland, Edited by Melanie Ann Oliver Production Company Pathe BBC Films Calamity Films BFI: Jude, released on 27 September 2019 (United States) Ritwik Kaikini The gaze on the eyes of the worn out actress is stern. It is shaky with vibrations from an overworked, sleepless past. Carrying a forced smile she tries to sway her loving audience. An audience which feeds on her personality like devouring a well dressed cake with a delicious frosting. But little does the audience know that if they take a bite from that cake, they will taste something sour in the center. The sweetness is just an escape. The film opens with the nervous, wide-eyed, young Judy Garland (played by Darci Shaw) on the sets of ‘The Wizard of Oz’ in 1939, staring directly at us while the vicious Louis B. Mayer(played by Richard Cordery), the producer lurking in the shadows, advises her that if she were to quit her creative career, leave the sets and live a ‘normal’ life like all the other girls out there, she would be forgotten forever and swallowed up like a raindrop in the Pacific Ocean.

  • End of the Rainbow by Peter Quilter
    End of the Rainbow by Peter Quilter Peter Quilter’s play, which is part concert–part drama, tells of the final, sad decline of Judy Garland, following a lifetime of abuse, addictions, and attempted suicides. Supposedly, she’s on the way to a full recovery and has booked a six-week run at London’s Talk of the Town nightclub, encouraged by her fiancée and manager, Mickey Deans, and in cahoots with her gay pianist friend Anthony. Despite Judy’s best intentions, as the run gets underway, she cannot suppress her destructive streak that has characterised her life up until this point. Quilter’s play is a powerful, part fictionalised, exploration of the final days of this lonely and exploited star, whose only way of travelling over the rainbow is through drugs. End of the Rainbow premiered in August 2005 at the Sydney Opera House. ‘It's not so much the colours of the rainbow that light up Peter Quilter's moving yet often funny musical, as the deep, dark cracks between them.’ Independent Genre: play featuring songs of Judy Garland Fee: £75 plus VAT, per performance Cast: m2 f1 Scripts: ISBN 9780413775320, £8.99 Set: The Ritz/Talk of the Town nightclub, 1968 Length: 2 acts Contact: [email protected] Extract (p. 33) Anthony Oh my God, your head!
