Betty Blue Eyes
Phoenix Players performed this show 9th - 11th November 2023 at Canada Water Theatre.
It is 1947: rationing is in full force and the country’s morale is low. The only beacon of hope is the upcoming wedding of Princess Elizabeth to Lieutenant Philip Mountbatten. The town council of Shepardsford are planning a grand banquet and have acquired an unlicensed pig, Betty, to feed their elite guests. Meanwhile cheerful chiropodist Gilbert Chilvers and his wife Joyce scrape by on meagre pickings as Meat Inspector Wormold looks set to close every butcher’s shop in Yorkshire. Come watch our story unfold as these three parties clash in this farcical tale of pride, prejudice and pork!
