The Pinot Princess explores the role of Mary the Mother of Jesus through two actors performing a play within a play. Which in a forty-five-minute performance is quite a challenge considering the themes they are exploring.
Pamela Flanagan takes on the role of actor Pinot who is attempting to give a feminist voice to Mary, the Mother of Jesus while trying to find her way in a world where she’s struggling to fit in without the odd glass or five of Pinot.
The plot becomes slightly mixed up and attempts to take on several routes. There’s a brief interview about the plays performance with a social media Influencer which fails to go to plan, a staged unorthodox casting interview and the unravelling of Pinot Princess’s relationship with her Mother and God!
There are some thought-provoking ideas within the script. However, the main themes need to become central and with some editing, the plot could become clearer which would allow the audience to have a clearer understanding of what is taking place and the important issues they are raising.

Looking back at my original biography section on here I can see how far my writing life has gone. With two Edinburgh Fringe seasons behind me and a huge variety of Theatres visited things have grown beyond my wildest dreams.
I now write for my own blog, London Theatre Reviews and Broadway Baby. On top of this I am an Off West End Senior Assessor and throughout lockdown helped turn the Oncomm into a success and watched Scenesaver become a huge success. Recently I was on the panel to vote for Scenesaver production awards. It has been an amazing journey and I am looking forward to the Theatres reopening next week (from 17th May 2021). My original introduction is underneath as a reminder to myself of just how far I have come. Long may it continue.
