The Essence of Audrey is a heartfelt exploration of the life of Audrey Hepburn, one of the world’s most beloved icons. In this intimate play, the audience is invited to a private viewing of her film memorabilia before it is auctioned to raise funds for UNICEF. As Hepburn finds herself alone, she engages her guests with stories of her life, sharing her triumphs and struggles, confronting her fears, and ultimately finding the truth she has long kept hidden.
Audrey desired love and understanding, leading to the question: what lies behind the facade of her seemingly perfect existence? Experience the closest thing to ‘An audience with Audrey!’ in Helen Anker’s captivating new play.
