The Amazing Hilton Sisters

Written and directed by:

Michael Woodwood

Performed by:

Oriana Charles and Lucy Menzies

Born as Conjoined twins in Brighton in 1908 the Hilton Sisters went on to perform in ‘Freak’ shows all over the world, before finally arriving in America where they progressed onto the legitimate stage, becoming the highest paid act in Vaudeville.  After a dalliance with Hollywood and appearing as ‘The Most Famous Siamese Twins in the World’ their tragic demise is a catalogue of failed publicity stunts and sexual scandals.

This new play, featuring Oriana Charles and Lucy Menzies as the tragic twins Daisy and Violet Hilton, explores their incredible life, from their exploitation as young performers, their celebrated fame, their many lovers and the ever-present prejudice continually used against them.

Suitable for age 14 - his production contains scenes and language that some audience members may find offensive.
