Fanny

RJG Productions in association with The Watermill Theatre present FANNY by Calum Finlay

'You're not stupid for wanting things to change, Fanny – it's just that we have to play the music that gets handed to us.'

Meet Fanny Mendelssohn. You'll probably know her younger brother Felix, from nineteenth-century smash hits like 'The Wedding March'. Felix was such a musical sensation that Queen Victoria requested a personal concert and even sung her favorite of his compositions: ‘Italien’. The only problem was Felix didn’t write it. The piece of music was Fanny’s, quietly published under her brother's name.

So - when Fanny intercepts a letter inviting Felix to go back to England and premiere a new orchestral work for the Queen, Fanny decides to hide the letter and take her rightful place at the palace…!

Fanny is a joyful and irreverent comedy celebrating music, family and – at last – the work of a composer overlooked because of her sex.
