Infamous

Famous and respectable? Can a woman be both? Emma Hamilton is the name on everyone''s lips. Her attitudes are the latest dance craze sweeping Europe, inspiring a generation of artists from Romney to Goethe. But Emma doesn''t want to be somebody''s muse, she wants to be the somebody. With rumours of Nelson''s imminent arrival swirling around Naples, Emma knows exactly which pose to strike to catch his attention and leave her mark on history. Or so she thinks. The extraordinarilv vivid life of one of the most remarkable figures in Georgian society bursts out of the history books in April De Angelis''s play.
