Sixty years ago, when he took charge of the crown jewels on the eve of the coronation, she promised to find him, should she ever reach her diamond jubilee and he his 90th birthday. Maurice's wife, Helena, is convinced he has never met the Queen. Katie, his nurse, thinks it's time he did. Aged eighty-nine and failing fast, Maurice remains steadfast in his conviction that the Queen is coming to tea and his 90th birthday is one worth waiting for. Will either of them make it?
Maurice's Jubilee is a funny and moving exploration of one man's enduring commitment to a dream. Directed by multiple Fringe First winner Hannah Eidinow, Nichola McAuliffe's new play was one of the highlights of last year's Edinburgh Festival.
