Glimpse behind the icon in this new biopic play written and performed by Helen Anker. Have you ever wondered what is behind the seemingly idyllic life of Audrey Hepburn? She was, and continues to be, an inspiration. In The Essence of Audrey she shares her successes and failures, her triumphs and disappointments, confronting her anxieties and fears and finding the truth she’s never been able to voice before. Helen Anker has appeared in many shows in the West End and on Broadway, and in numerous regional productions. She is excited to share with you her one-woman play about the life of Audrey Hepburn, which she wrote and created herself during lockdown
