The Last Of The De Mullins

St John Hankin’s feminist satire of conventional morality The Last Of The De Mullins receives its first professional staging in the capital for more than a century at the Jermyn Street Theatre.

It is 1908, society is changing and the De Mullin family is being left behind. Eight years ago, the eldest De Mullin daughter – the headstrong, free-spirited and unwed Janet – became pregnant, but instead of revealing the identity of the child’s father to her family, she escapes out of her bedroom window and flees to London.

Now a successful businesswoman, she is back and refuses to be ashamed for either herself or her child. But there is a price to be paid for Janet’s continued independence: the disgrace of her family and the end of the De Mullin line.

Directed by Joshua Stamp-Simon, the cast comprises Nick Blakeley, Alexandra Dowling, Benjamin Fisher, Rufus King-Dabbs, Stuart Organ, Jenk Oz, Charlotte Powell, Roberta Taylor, Harriet Thorpe, Matilda Thorpe and Maya Wasowicz.
