A hugely talented artist, idiosyncratic Gluck lived by nobody’s rules but their own, and when celebrity florist Constance Fry walked into their studio with a delivery, a scandalously queer, tempestuous relationship began. This relationship would challenge gender, class and social mores, and was to produce some of the most stunning paintings of the era.
Bristol’s award-winning new writing company Theatre West are delighted to present a new play set in the 1930s about a real relationship that still feels pertinent today.
