The Musical
Hilarious story inspired by Wendy Watson:
A bonkers shepherdess accidentally changes the course of medical history!
When Wendy Watson, a delightfully "bonkers" housewife and mother from Northern England, uncovers a shocking pattern of breast cancer that has plagued her family for generations, she sets off on an audacious mission to safeguard future generations. With her contagious laughter and quirky spirit, she takes on the medical establishment and defies societal expectations, uniting her community through the power of music and sheer determination. Despite facing a barrage of skepticism, Wendy's innovative approach and relentless drive not only reshapes her family's future but also sparks revolutionary advancements in genetic cancer prevention. Her transformation from a typical farmer's wife to an esteemed MBE recipient exemplifies the notion that an individual's resolve, infused with humor and compassion, can ignite remarkable change in the world. Eccentric to the core, with a charming laugh, a vibrant sense of humour and a bold outlook on life, Wendy stands as a true catalyst for transformation. Though she sees herself as just another ordinary person, her life is anything but mundane - captivating the press with her progressive ideas, successfully navigating the complexities of the European Court to shift the government's stance against the European patent directive that legalised gene patenting and earning the title of Tesco Mum of the Year in 2011.
This exciting new musical production is set to feature stars and West End actors. It will begin its journey in the Midlands and then tour theaters across the UK, not only introducing audiences to its many hilarious and entertaining characters, but also raising awareness and saving lives for the 97% of those with a genetic mutation who are unaware of their risk.
