A Story of the Ladies of Llangollen

See dates and times  

When Eleanor and Sarah found each other, they were forced to leave their homes and cast out by society. Taking up residence in Llangollen they became minor celebrities, forced to witness their own lives written about by those who could never understand. Now, they are back, ready to take back the story that’s rightfully theirs - on their own terms.

A new play based on the true story of Lady Eleanor Butler and Miss Sarah Ponsonby.

Created by Katie Elin-Salt and Eleri B.Jones
Written by Katie Elin-Salt
Directed by Eleri B. Jones

    I enjoyed being challenged, loved the humour. For above all else that connects us to history it’s the stories and the laughter.

    This is a gripping drama, which holds the attention throughout. There are plenty of funny moments to lighten the mood – especially Mary’s monologue, beautifully delivered by Emma Pallant.

    a warm affirmation of lives lived authentically, and of gardens tended into bloom
