THE SENSIBLE DRESSER
Elsie's 2015 and 2016 one-woman show is inspired by her day job: dresser to the stars in the unpredictable world of costume. Set backstage in an opera house this is a comic, sexy and heartfelt piece. Having worked in television, opera and theatre, Elsie tells tales from her own and friends' careers. With some artistic license of course… These stories can’t possibly be true, can they?
'Elsie Diamond effortlessly blends storytelling, comedy and burlesque to create a sumptuous journey through the decades. Not one to be missed.' (Readers Digest)
'The show has all the energy and razzamatazz of a big West End production.' (Michael Davies, Female Arts)
'fusing traditional burlesque with a series of connected stories taking the audience into a backstage world filled with memorable characters, love stories, loathe stories and passion!' (Gavin Collinson, BBC Writersroom)
