The Vegan Tigress at Bread & Roses Theatre

Premiering in London, a new play celebrates the life and storytelling of an inspirational Victorian author - Mary De Morgan. Inspired by her extraordinary fairy tales, The Vegan Tigress imagines De Morgan accidentally summoning a ghost. The spirit is the formidable mother of a lover Mary spurned many years before. The opposing worlds of free spirits and tightly-laced corsets collide as De Morgan is forced to re-evaluate her life on the eve of a life-changing journey. The play is a celebration of the art and craft of storytelling, and one of De Morgan’s fantastical tales is woven into the drama. Playwright Claire Parker wittily shines a light on Mary De Morgan and her sublime, subversive stories.
