Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice’s blockbuster musical Evita made Eva Perón, the second wife of Argentinian president Juan Perón, a pop culture icon. Now, can an anarchic UK theatre double act do the same for his third wife Isabel, whose remarkable story is largely unknown?
Isabel Perón, one of the first female republican heads of state in the world, served as president of Argentina between 1974 and 197. Rebecca Biscuit and Louise Mothersole, who make up multi-award-winning duo Sh!t Theatre, are to turn her life into a musical, Evita Too, which opens at Soho Theatre this week.
