John Ruskin was the greatest British art critic and social commentator
of the Victorian Age.
In Mrs Ruskin we enter his much talked about private life - he relationship
with his wife Effie and her younger sister Sophie, his mother Margaret
and the Pre-Raphaelite painter John Everett Millais.
Intriguing, tantalising and somewhat shocking, Mrs Ruskin tells a tale
of the most famous Victorian, bar Victoria.
Kim Morrissey is a Canadian playwright and poet, her black comedy about
Freud, Dora:A Case of Hysteria is a suggested text for BBC's Open University.
Director Jacqui Sommerville, an RSC Assistant Director, has been awarded
the prestigious Rose Bruford directors bursary for this production at
the Warehouse Theatre.
Mrs Ruskin comes from the critically acclaimed Theatre Metropolis
whose latest productions have included Monsieur d'Eon & Grace Under
Pressure.
