Prince Edward, bored with the constraints of monarchy, falls in love with an American divorcee, Wallis Simpson and gives up everything for her. Fans of The Crown will instantly recognise the first enactment of this royal twisted tale in the story of Wallis Simpson but is it a love story or is she a woman trapped by her own ambition, fuelled by the eye of the media?
BramwellBrand‘s latest historical musical, Wallis, tells the story of a woman swept away by circumstance, and the King who gave up his crown for her.
The musical duo behind BramwellBrand Productions, Jane Bramwell and Michael Brand “bring a lot of variety to their memorable songs” (The Scotsman) and return with “an exemplar of a very fine kind of theatre magic” (The Stage). Wallis features brand new sensational songs that will transport audiences back to the 1930s to experience the royal twisted tale of Wallis Simpson and Edward VIII.
