1. Yvette Guilbert
The story of a singer's career at a new venue in Paris. Toulouse Lautrec's characters come to life. Starring Julie Covington.
Singer Yvette Guilbert is drawn to a brand new venue in the capital city of France.
Starring Julie Covington.
When the Moulin Rouge cabaret opened in Montmartre, Paris in 1889, Toulouse-Lautrec was commissioned to paint a series of posters. A performer's career was made if they secured an appearance.
John Peacock brings Toulouse Lautrec's poster characters to life, in four plays about these entertainers, whose lives were as vivid as Lautrec's paint.
