The Essence of Audrey - Ripon Arts Hub Theatre

Audrey Hepburn. All she really wanted was to be loved and to find love.

She was, and continues to be, an inspiration. A beautiful, modest actress and Ambassador of UNICEF, living a seemingly idyllic life.

Audrey proved to be one of those rare people who truly deserved fashion icon status, but what made her into the star we think we know?

Writer and performer Helen Anker ( Mamma Mia! Dear Evan Hansen ) shares Audreys successes and failures, her triumphs and disappointments, confronting her anxieties and fears and finding the truth shes never been able to voice before.

Helen Ankers career began at the age of 9, playing the role of Louisa in the West Ends production of The Sound of Music starring Petula Clarke and Honor Blackman. Since then, she has appeared in many shows in the West End and on Broadway, and in numerous regional productions including Crazy for You , Cats, Oklahoma! , My Fair Lady and The Prom .
