Based on Winifred Watson’s best-selling novel set in 1939 London, this delightful screwball comedy introduces us to Miss Guinevere Pettigrew, a middle-aged governess who finds herself once again unfairly dismissed from her job. Without so much as severance pay, Miss Pettigrew realises that she must - for the first time in two decades - seize the day.
“The chemistry between McDormand and Adams - the former slowly ceasing to be a squashed cabbage leaf, the latter fired with the energy of a great screwball heroine - causes happy sparks to dance about this production.” - Donald Clarke, The Irish Times
