A new one-woman play with music performed by Lucy Stevens with musical accompaniment, Whattalife!, tells the story of one of Britain’s phenomenal women of the 20th Century, Kathleen Ferrier from her debut as a singer in 1940, her meteoric rise and her tragic death in 1953.Professional actress and contralto, Lucy Stevens has researched and created a unique and totally engaging performance, the text is taken straight from Kathleen’s letters and diaries with sung music from her repertoire woven through the text.
Whattalife! is the first staged dramatisation of Ferrier’s life, evoking the spirit of the war and post war years. Just like Kathleen during her short but full life, the show has a great sense of fun and talks straight from the heart.
Lucy Stevens and Whattalife! was featured on ‘Music Matters’, BBC Radio 3.
