My Lilly Langtry performance includes a 30-minute discussion of her life from her perspective. During this presentation, I perform a monologue from her favorite role as Rosalind/ “As you like it. “I also sing her “Margate boat” song and “Beautiful dreamer”. I also take questions from the guests and answer 100% in character. My artistry “brings her back to life”, covering her vaudeville and music hall performances.
