THE MUSE. Beauty. Nudity. Ambition. A new play by Palimpsest

Leighton House Museum 

Following the sell-out success of the production Hedda in April 2014, Leighton House is delighted to be working again with the Palimpsest theatre, film and web company to present an extended run of a new multi-media play that explores the relationship between Frederic, Lord Leighton, one of the most influential Victorian artists and President of the Royal Academy (1878 – 1896) and Dorothy Dene (aka Ada Pullan), his model, muse and confidante. Staged in Leighton’s studio, where Dorothy so often posed for the artist, and based on extensive new research, The Muse is a must see.

Play begins at 7.45pm. Doors open at 7:15pm for drinks soirée. 

No suitable for under 14 yr olds
Nino Costa painter,  founder of The Etruscans is played by Marco Gambino
