Proteus

“It’s extraordinary, isn’t it? That we should find each other.”

The year is 1949, and Roberta Cowell; racing driver, RAF pilot, and ‘It’ girl, meets Michael Dillon; a ship's doctor who pursued Buddhism into the high Himalayas. Together they will change the course of British transgender history. Yet after just three short years, they never speak again.

Separated by time and space, Michael and Roberta meet for one last impossible encounter, to find out if the thing that brought them together was the same thing that broke them apart - The Law of Mayhem.

Joyful, uplifting and full of heart, award-winning local theatre company Proteus bring this true story, rooted in Basingstoke, to the stage for the first time.
