Synopsis
Dawn French is one of the greatest comedy actresses of our time, with a
career that has spanned nearly three decades, encompassing a vast and
brilliant array of characters. Loved for her irreverant humour, Dawn has
achieved massive mainstream success while continuing to push boundaries
and challenge stereotypes. Here she describes the journey that would
eventually establish her as a perhaps unlikely, but nevertheless
genuine, national treasure. Dawn began her career as part of the
groundbreaking alternative comedy group, the Comic Strip, marking a
radical departure from the more traditional comedy acts of the time.
Later came the all-female Girls On Top, which teamed Dawn with Jennifer
Saunders, Ruby Wax and Tracy Ullman and firmly established women in
British comedy. As part of the wildly successful and much loved duo
French and Saunders, Dawn helped create a repetoire of brilliantly
observed characters, parodying popular culture and impersonating
everything from Madonna and Harry Potter to The Exorcist.
Dawn's more recent role in the Vicar of Dibley showcased not only her
talent but also her ability to take a controversial and topical issue
and make it mainstream - and very funny. From her early years as an RAF
child and her flat-sharing antics with Jennifer Saunders, to her
outspoken views on sizism and her marriage to Lenny Henry, Dear Fatty
will chronicle the extraordinary, hilarious rise of a complex, dynamic
and unstoppable woman.
