Glenda and Rita: LIVE

Fri 28 Nov

About Glenda and Rita: LIVE

Glenda Swing & Rita Herringbone are two actresses from the Golden Age of Hollywood, immortalised in black white, and struggling to find work in this brutal, unforgiving Technicolor world.

Glenda & Rita invite you to a celebration of their cinematic career, where they will be revisiting songs and roles from forgotten movies past. From ‘Know Your Onions’ to ‘The Professional Blues’, Glenda & Rita will take you on a musical monochrome journey from their Hollywood heyday, to their miserable flat in Lancing.

Will this night see them reborn into the shining stars they once were, or will this trip down memory lane end in obscurity?
