Mrs Bucket Reveals her Life on Stage
Patricia
Routledge
South
Shields Customs
House
Saturday 9th April
2016.
Patricia Routledge is best-known
for her role as Hyacinth Bucket in BBC TV
series Keeping Up Appearances, but the fact she’s a trained singer remains one
of the best kept secrets in show business.
In a fascinating encounter with
the writer and broadcaster Edward Sekerson, the evening is illustrated with
rare recordings into her life and career.
She said: “Edward decided quite
a few years ago that one of the best kept secrets was my musical theatre side
and he decided to dig it out. I knew him from radio and I had such regard for
him that I said I would do the talks.”
She won the 1968 Tony Award for
Best Actress in a Musical for her role in Darling of the Day, and the 1988
Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Musical for Candide.
Despite being 87, Patricia still
enjoys embarking on any exciting job opportunities that come her way and loves
being on the road with Edward.
Patricia, who is also known as
Hetty Wainthrop, added: “I enjoy it and I never thought I would. I don’t
particularly enjoy talking about myself and then there I am at it for a couple
of hours on stage. There is a shape to the show but we sometimes surprise each
other. We always try to make it seem like it’s the first time we’ve done it.”
