About

Fri 5 - Sat 27 Sep 2025 | Doors: 1:30pm, 6:30pm, 7:30pm available
Nottingham Playhouse
Tickets from £14.50 (plus £2.50 booking fee per order).

A wickedly funny new play that explores the enigma of Mary Whitehouse: pearl-clutching prude or 'the most dangerous woman in Britain'?

In the 1970s, one twinkly old lady wielded extraordinary influence, fighting against what she believed was the UK's moral decline. Armed with only a typewriter in her garden, this seemingly harmless grandmother took on the BBC and the 'godless media' in a culture war that divided the nation.

Known for her iconic stage and TV appearances (Hamlet, A Streetcar Named Desire, Dinnerladies, Shameless, Silk, The Village, Inside No. 9, See No Evil, Black Mirror), Maxine Peake brings this fascinating and outrageous character to life.
