The Astonishing Adventures of Kitty and Peg

An 18th-century thrill ride packed with laughter, rivalry, and friendship!

Meet Kitty Clive and Peg Woffington, two notorious actresses fighting to stay relevant in a world that loves them one minute and casts them aside the next. Hilarious and heartfelt, this is the story of fierce women juggling careers, romance, and each other!

Join us for The Astonishing Adventures of Kitty and Peg, a hilarious two-hander set in 1745 at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. This uproarious period farce stars English actress Kitty Clive, famed for her voice, and Irish actress Peg Woffington, known for playing men. When they’re suddenly sacked, they resort to outrageous schemes: spreading fake news, staging fights, and accidentally poisoning the cross-dressing puppeteer Charlotte “Mr Brown” Charke. Will they win back their jobs, face execution, or will the public’s love of scandal save them? Fast-paced and cheeky, expect queer joy, wrestling, and true crime thrills in a play that’s as daft as it is tender.

If you crave smart, funny theatre (think Blackadder, Austentatious, The Play That Goes Wrong), this one’s for you! History buffs, theatre lovers, and anyone wanting a raucous, relatable night out—don’t miss this unique twist on the classic comedy of rivals. Starring the dynamic duo Cara Jennings and Sophie Trott, whose chemistry will leave you utterly charmed.

Come for the laughs, stay for the love, and leave with a story you won’t forget!
