About the Show

Dame Maureen Lipman stars as Rose in a show that highlights the importance of unity in the face of adversity and the need to recognise people's suffering.

The digital production of 'Rose' won an Off Com award and in 2020 Country Music an Off West End award.

"Maureen Lipman’s magnificent solo performance is spell-bindingly captivating, and to see her perform it without a screen between actor and audience, feels like an unforgettable privilege."

"This is Dame Maureen's night and she makes of it a masterclass: her 'Rose' is funny, unflinching, deeply moving; she's benign, tricky, damaged, powerful, a mass of contradictions and a crucible of sheer humanity."
