About this event
31 August – 4 September at The Minack
Margery Benson is a middle-aged 1950s domestic science teacher, showing girls “how to iron men’s shirts and boil vegetables” – until a final humiliation inspires her to set off on a reckless mission to find an undiscovered species of golden beetle on the other side of the world.
A deliciously hilarious Ripping Yarn, with undercurrents of tenderness and insight, based on the book by Rachel Joyce (The Unlikely Pilgrimage of Harold Fry’)
