Get tickets to Queen Bette in London

Bette Davis was a true movie legend, a Hollywood superstar from the golden age of cinema.

This acclaimed one-woman show retraces her remarkable life and career, from a fledgling stage actress to glittering movie star, including her battles with Jack Warner and the Hollywood Studios system, and her unprecedented attempt to gain independence as an artist.

Davis fought hard all her life, had four husbands, won two Oscars, played Elizabeth I twice, and had a reputation as the biggest bitch in Hollywood.

Now, Queen Bette tells the whole story…

Queen Bette is playing at the King’s Head Theatre from 5 to 23 November 2024.
