MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS (2005)

Cast

Plot

Laura Henderson has just lost her husband, but while others might grieve she decides to refocus her considerable energies and on an apparent whim buys London's Windmill Theatre. A firm believer of demonstrative eccentricity, Mrs Henderson soon finds herself in trouble with the law when she decides to boost the theatre's faltering ticket sales by introducing nudity to the stage - a stroke of genius that is not without its pitfalls, particularly since her decision coincides with the arrival of WWII. 'Mrs Henderson Presents' is a delightful period comedy drama with a cracking central performance from Judy Dench and series of camp scene stealers from Will Young.
