Practically Imperfect

The very private writer PL Travers lives quietly in Chelsea. Out of the blue, her very own creation, Mary Poppins, suddenly appears in Travers' office, asking difficult questions Travers would rather not answer and, equipped with an accordion, performing the kind of music Travers really wanted in the Mary Poppins film (including Edwardian songs such as Lily of Laguna).

Tue 10-Sat 14 February 7.30pm

Sun 15 February 3.30pm

From The Telling (who brought you the sell-out show What the Dickens?, Creating Carmen and Into the Melting Pot), award-winning writer Clare Norburn and BAFTA-nominated director Nicholas Renton. Starring past OSO Artist in Residence Lottie Walker as PL Travers and actor-musician Joanna Brown as Mary Poppins.
