The infamous rivalry between Hollywood icons Bette Davis and Joan Crawford is laid bare in hilarious camp comedy Bette & Joan.

This bittersweet play follows the two Oscar winning actresses as they lock horns during the making of the classic movie What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?

Packed full of wise cracks and one liners, two cinema greats let rip about their lives, loves and careers in this camp comedy.

Bette & Joan stars Emmy Award winner Greta Scacchi reviving her acclaimed performance as Bette Davis, alongside RSC and National Theatre actor Felicity Dean as Joan Crawford.

NOW EXTENDED

Bette & Joan is playing at the Park Theatre from 3 December 2024 to 11 January 2025.

In 1962, a low-budget psychological thriller was released in the United States starring two well-known actresses who needed a career boost, Joan Crawford and Bette Davis. The movie, What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, was critically acclaimed, went on to become an enormous hit at the box office and is still considered a cult classic. 

Despite this success, it wasn’t the most relaxed of shoots. The well-known rivalry between these two iconic actresses spilled over onto the set and each day was filled with problems exacerbated by their fury with each other. 

Set in the two divas’ individual dressing rooms, the play charts the machinations and sometimes ludicrous lengths both Bette and Joan were prepared to go to in order to undermine each other.
