Coral Browne: This F**king Lady
A Melbourne International Comedy Festival event
Starring Amanda Muggleton and directed by Nadia Tass
A critically acclaimed one-women play starring Amanda Muggleton, based on the life of Australian legendary star of stage and screen, Coral Browne, puts the Grande Dame back in the spotlight where she belongs.
Diva, adventuress, beauty, wit... the flamboyant Coral Browne travelled a world away from her humble Australian beginnings to become the toast of the London stage in the 1940s.
Sexually adventurous, with a deliciously bawdy wit, Coral was as well known for her glamorous lifestyle as she was for her memorable stage and screen performances (Auntie Mame, The Killing of Sister George, Dennis Potter’s Dreamchild and Alan Bennett’s An Englishman Abroad). She had a string of famous lovers, including Paul Robeson and Maurice Chevalier, and enjoyed a late-life marriage to the king of schlock horror, Vincent Price.
In this critically-acclaimed one-woman play, the wonderful Amanda Muggleton (The Book Club, Hollyoaks, Prisoner Cell Block H) brings Coral Browne to sparkling life and puts this Grande Dame back in the spotlight where she belongs.
Coral Browne is proof that while good girls go to heaven, naughty girls go everywhere!
‘A delightful, surprising show – a must see!’

brilliant
Fabulous portrayal of very talented woman! Great insight into Coral's life, loves and character. I'm glad I've learned more about such an uncelebrated Aust. actress.
Mesmerising performance by a seasoned actor . So many warm and funny stories delivered with finesse and charm
Faultless performance had us all hanging on the plethora of stories Amanda delivered on the life of Corale. Warm and welcoming staff - looking forward to continued visits.

Fantastic show, so well done by Amanda Muggleton and lots of laughs too!
I knew nothing about Amanda Muggleton and did not understand what the fuss was about. I have become an overnight fan. Also, love the venue!! thank you.
Amanda M. has created a full-proof, 5 star rating in my books! Once again, single-handedly, she smashed it. Thank you!
Absolutely brilliant performance. Amanda delivered an outstanding rendition of the eccentric and exciting life of Coral Browne. Don’t miss the chance to see this amazing actor.
