📱 eBook en inglés THE LAST STAND OF MRS. MARY WHITEHOUSE

And what happens when the pendulum swings too far? We push back.

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

Inspired by real events, Caroline Birds wickedly funny play delves into Whitehouses most explosive battle – her infamous blasphemy trial against Gay News – and explores her formidable resolve to push back the tide. Was she a pearl-clutching prude or the most dangerous woman in Britain?

A fascinating investigation into freedom and censorship, The Last Stand of Mrs. Mary Whitehouse was co-commissioned by Nottingham Playhouse, Eleanor Lloyd Productions and Pakenham Projects. Premiering at Nottingham Playhouse in 2025, it was directed by Sarah Frankcom and starred Maxine Peake and Samuel Barnett.
