Call Me Elizabeth: from Burton to Humanitarian

Presented on even-numbered days (excluding Aug 12), your audience with Elizabeth Taylor resumes! Kayla Boye as Elizabeth, reflects on her tempestuous passion with Richard Burton which nearly killed them both, but which also transformed her to play perhaps her greatest role... AIDS activist and humanitarian. Directed by Michael Weber, presented by Olivier winner, Fringe legend (and twice Taylor's nephew by marriage to Burton) Guy Masterson.

'Brilliant! A must-watch for any Elizabeth Taylor fan!' EdFringeReview
'Captivating! A brilliantly polished production!' ThreeWeeks 
'A shattering, exquisite performance that should not be missed' Chicago Theatre Review
