Bol A wickedly funny play about Mary Whitehouse and her infamous blasphemy trial against Gay News in the 1970s. Premiered at Nottingham Playhouse in 2025, starring Maxine Peake. Winner of Best New Play at the 2026 UK Theatre Awards. 'And what happens when the pendulum swings too far? We push back.' In the 1970s, one enigmatic old lady wielded extraordinary influence, fighting against what she believed was the UK's moral decline. Armed with only a typewriter, this seemingly harmless grandmother took on the BBC and the 'godless media' in a culture war that divided the nation. Inspired by real events, Caroline Bird's wickedly funny play delves into Whitehouse's most explosive battle – her infamous blasphemy trial against Gay News – and explores her formidable resolve to push back the tide. Was she a pearl-clutching prude or 'the most dangerous woman in Britain'? A fascinating investigation into freedom and censorship, The Last Stand of Mrs. Mary Whitehouse was co-commissioned by Nottingham Playhouse, Eleanor Lloyd Productions and Pakenham Projects. Premiering at Nottingham Playhouse in 2025, it was directed by Sarah Frankcom and starred Maxine Peake and Samuel Barnett. It went on to win Best New Play at the 2026 UK Theatre Awards.
