One face looks out from all his canvases - not as she is, but as she fills his dreams.
In Victorian London, Dante Gabriel Rossetti transformed ordinary women into goddesses, calling them “Stunners.” This new play - part theatre, part lecture, part riff beauty, gender and class - steps inside their gilded world.Inspired by Woodford-born William Morris and his wife Jane Morris, a defining Pre-Raphaelite muse, writer-performer Elaine Britten blends local history with the story of these audacious Victorians. Meticulously researched and laced with humour, it uncovers the women behind the masterpieces.
