Gluck’s Flowers

South West Galleries tour with Theatre West, April – May 2024

In 1930’s Britain one artist is living and creating rebelliously outside of the social and gender norm. Gluck. 
No prefix. No suffix. No quotes.

A hugely talented artist, idiosyncratic Gluck lived by nobody’s rules but their own, and when celebrity florist Constance Spry walked into their studio with a delivery, a scandalously queer, tempestuous relationship began. This relationship would challenge gender, class and social mores, and was to produce some of the most stunning paintings of the era.
