Practically Imperfect - Grand Theatre

A play with music by award-winning writer, Clare Norburn and BAFTA-nominated BBC director, Nicholas Renton (Mrs Gaskell's Wives and Daughters, Musketeers, Lewis).

The very private PL Travers lives quietly in Chelsea. Out of the blue, her very own creation, Mary Poppins, suddenly appears in Travers' study, asking difficult questions Travers would rather not answer. Rather than the Banks family, Mary Poppins has come to sort out the acerbic PL Travers herself. But Travers is a force to be reckoned with too. So who will control the narrative and win the battle of wills? The fun-filled chaos is soundtracked by the kind of music PL Travers really wanted in the Mary Poppins film (Edwardian songs such as Lily of Laguna). Starring acclaimed actor Lottie Walker as PL Travers and a TBC actor-musician as Mary Poppins.
