The Tale of Beatrix Potter with Rohan McCullough

Performed by Rohan McCullough
Scripted by Hannah Kynaston

Beatrix Potter’s life began in the high Summer of Victorian England and ended as Hitler’s bombs rained down on London. She escaped into her imagination in order to flee from the constraints of a well-to-do family home, only finding true happiness in love in her middle years. This story of an extraordinary woman is highlighted by extracts from some of her best loved tales.

Based on Beatrix Potter’s diaries, Rohan McCullough takes us on an enchanting journey through the storyteller’s life, from her solitary childhood and conflicts with her parents, to the success of Peter Rabbit and an unlikely but happy marriage. Rohan has won Best Drama Awards at the Brighton and Edinburgh Festivals for her one woman shows. She has also performed the show to great acclaim at the Swan Theatre, Stratford and the Fortune Theatre, London.
