Lucy Stevens

The life and music of Kathleen Ferrier is brought to life by actress and contralto, Lucy Stevens, who uses text taken straight from Kathleen’s diaries and personal letters to create an engaging performance, with songs from her repertoire woven throughout.

Whattalife! tells Kathleen’s story from her debut as a singer in 1940, her meteoric rise to fame and her tragic death in 1953, evoking the spirit of the war and post war years.

Just like Kathleen during her short but full life, the show has a great sense of fun and talks straight from the heart.
