New Chichester musical puts Edward and Mrs Simpson on the stage
A new musical Wallis – The Story of Wallis Simpson makes its debut at this year’s Festival of Chichester.
It comes from Brighton writers Jane Bramwell and Michael Brand and will premiere on Sunday, June 26 at The Pallant Suite, Chichester (tickets from the Festival of Chichester).
In his 1936 abdication speech Edward VIII explained that he could not be King without support of the woman he loved Wallis Simpson, Michael says: “When the British establishment deemed Wallis as unsuitable as Queen the consequences were profound.”
