Solo performer Gemskii discusses not only the contribution that Joan Littlewood made to British theatre but the challenge of reworking a show intended for a cast of six to being a solo piece.

“Joan Littlewood contributed as much to British theatre as Shakespeare! Why is she not remembered? Is it because she was a communist, or a woman, or because she was downright rude? Joan, Babs & Shelagh too is a complete history of this fantastic woman and her collision with Barbara Windsor and Shelagh Delaney.”
