Clare Burt and Laura Pitt-Pulford on Flowers for Mrs Harris

As they prepare to open in Sheffield, we chat to Laura Pitt-Pulford and Clare Burt about Flowers for Mrs Harris.

Based on the novel by Paul Gallico, Flowers for Mrs Harris is a new musical set in 1940s London. It follows Ada Harris, a cleaner who wants for nothing until she happens upon a Christian Dior dress.

Directed by outgoing artistic director Daniel Evans – his final production at the Crucible – the cast also includes Anna-Jane Casey and Moyo Akande.

Flowers for Mrs Harris runs at the Crucible, Sheffield from 23 May to 4 June.
