Mrs Henderson presents

Gaining recent praise in the Toronto film festival and already Oscar-bait, "Mrs Henderson Presents" tells the story of one of England's eccentric society figures, Laura Henderson, who founded the Windmill Theatre to win back audiences from 'talking pictures'.

Set in World War 2 London, Stephen Frear's film shows how Henderson's influence in society took advantage of a loophole permitting the theatre to show entirely nude models on stage - provided they didn't move a muscle.

Hence the 'Nude Revue,' a musical extravaganza which became a roaring success and ensured the Windmill Theatre's place in history.

Stephen Frears has created an entertaining musical to recreate the era and quirky story - prepare for cinema visits in November - or December in USA!
