-Fleabag for the classical music world.
Cosima was the wife of Richard Wagner and the daughter of Franz Liszt. But Cosima Wagner was so much more. She was a talented, passionate, ambitious woman who refused to be a victim of her era. Now, it is Cosima’s time to tell the world who Cosima Wagner really was.
Lambert’s script is a well-crafted narrative, which is not easy to pull off in a one-person show - The Reviews Hub
‘Mary Murray gives a masterclass… Cosima is phenomenal’… Baz Ashmawy
“Cosima Wagner had about as interesting a life as anyone who didn’t found a religion or personally lead an invasion of a foreign empire.” – Philip Hensher, Telegraph (2010)
