Over the river in Chelsea, their father and greatest actor of his generation Melchior Hazard turns 100 on the same day. As does his twin brother Peregrine. If, in fact, he's still alive. And if, in truth, Melchior is their real father after all. Wise Children is adapted for the stage from Angela Carter's last novel about a theatrical family living in South London. It centres around twin chorus girls, Nora and Dora Chance, whose lives are brimming with mystery, illegitimacy and scandal. Dora narrates the story as her older self, looking back on a tumultuous life, throughout which she and her sister have loved to sing and dance. A big, bawdy tangle of theatrical joy and heartbreak, Wise Children is a celebration of show business, family, forgiveness and hope. Expect show girls and Shakespeare, sex and scandal, music, mischief and mistaken identity--and butterflies by the thousand.Oberon modern plays.EntertainersDramaFamiliesDramaFamiliesfast(OCoLC)fst01728849Entertainersfast(OCoLC)fst00912655Plays, playscriptsbicDrama.fastDrama.lcgftEntertainersFamiliesFamilies.Entertainers.Plays, playscripts.362.87Rice Emma1480158Carter Angela1940-1992.163486UkLoBPUkLoBPBOOK9910793263803321Wise children3696661UNINA
