Plot Summary
Ayr Community Theatre (ACT) is proud to present ‘Queen Milli of Galt’ by Gary Kirkham.
Bursting with heart and a generous dose of humour, Queen Milli of Galt is a witty and touching exploration of unexpected love based on a true story.
In 1972, the Duke of Windsor (formerly King Edward VIII) dies in exile at the age of 78. Two weeks later, in the small town of Galt, an 80-year-old woman has her tombstone engraved - boldly claiming to be his wife.
Flash back to 1919, when the dashing Prince Edward arrives in Canada as an emissary of the King. Bored by the endless pomp and ceremony, he slips away from his official duties and finds himself in the company of a captivating young woman - sparking a romance that will echo through the decades.
This performance features a special guest appearance by the playwright himself, Gary Kirkham.
Immediately after the final curtain, Gary Kirkham will take the stage to speak about the play. A short audience question-and-answer period will follow.
It’s a rare and exciting opportunity to hear directly from the author and gain a deeper understanding of the work.
