Nanaimo Theatre Group is delighted to open its 64th season with the heartwarming and witty production of Glorious! by Peter Quilter. The show is based on the true story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a New York City socialite and amateur singer who could not carry a tune but was convinced she was a great soprano. The pinnacle of her career was when, at the age of 76, she gave a legendary public performance in Carnegie Hall! In this touching play, also a movie with Meryl Streep and Hugh Grant, what begins as a joke becomes a lesson in how to live your dream. The play is ultimately about love in its many forms. Peter Quilter’s plays have been presented in major theatres in 50 countries around the world and translated into over 30 languages.
