Mrs Pat (Burge)
by Anton Burge

Yet in spite of these towering achievements, in the final year of her life, Mrs Pat faces her greatest challenge.

Feeling abandoned by her art and her country, and at the mercy of the newly imposed quarantine laws, Mrs Pat and her adored Pekinese Moonbeam find themselves fleeing Paris as the Nazis close in.

As they wait through the night for a connecting train at Toulouse Station, Mrs Pat contemplates the highs and lows of a life that has encompassed theatrical superstardom and financial ruin, public plaudits and personal loss.

Spirited, uncompromising and demanding, even in her most difficult hour, Mrs Pat remains a tour de force.
