About this listen

Audrey Hepburn was not your usual movie star. She was the highest paid actress of her day, yet she never took a formal acting lesson. A child of war, and the daughter of a Fascist sympathizer, she spent her last years helping children of other wars.

An Academy Award-winner for her first major film role (Roman Holiday), Hepburn continued her storybook career with such classic movies as Sabrina, Funny Face, The Nun's Story, Breakfast at Tiffany's, Charade, My Fair Lady and Wait until Dark. Her two marriages ended in divorce.

Michael B. Druxman’s one-woman play, Miss Audrey Hepburn, is set in 1990. It finds the semi-retired actress in her home in Switzerland, filming a television commercial for UNICEF. It's not going well, and during a break, she ponders her life and the "ghosts" that still haunt her.

This one-woman play is written by Micheal B. Druxman in a way that makes you feel like you’re having an intimate conversation with Audrey Hepburn herself. Emma Riches’ portrayal is a great impersonation of Audrey; clear, enchanting and, along with perfectly apt atmospheric sound effects, faithfully brings her to life.

Enchanting!

I enjoyed Emma’s performance in this as she carries us through the years of Audrey’s career and personal life. I felt I learnt a lot about Audrey I didn’t know and it was insightful coming from ‘Audrey’ herself. A calming hour, thank you Emma!

A very calming listen, with an insightful look into the iconic life of Audrey Hepburn. The play is beautifully read by Emma Riches, who brings Audrey Hepburn to life so naturally; you feel as though you are sitting in the room with her. An instant connection with the character is formed through Emma’s charm and decorum.

Seamless musical transitions and very eloquently read. This play was a pleasure to listen to and I would highly recommend it.

Calming and Insightful
