Description

Wise Children is a theatrical tale of family, forgiveness and hope, set against the vibrant backdrop of show business. Twin chorus girls Nora and Dora Chance's lives are marked by mystery, illegitimacy and scandal, as they navigate the highs and lows of their profession. As Dora narrates her story from an older perspective, she recounts a tumultuous life filled with music, mischief and mistaken identity. With its big-hearted bawdy charm, Wise Children celebrates the power of performance, family bonds and the human spirit's capacity for forgiveness and hope. This novel is adapted for the stage from Angela Carter's last work, exploring themes that are both universally relatable and uniquely theatrical.
