The Bahamas, 1941. Lulu Randolph arrives in Nassau to investigate the governor and his wife, the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, for a fashionable New York magazine. As she infiltrates the duke and duchess’s social circle, she uncovers evidence that beneath the glitter of Wallis and Edward’s marriage lies an ugly reality. In fact, Windsor-era Nassau roils with spies, financial swindles, and racial tension, and in the middle of it all stands Benedict Thorpe: a scientist of charismatic charm and murky national loyalties. Inevitably, the willful and wounded Lulu falls in love. Then Nassau’s wealthiest man is murdered and the resulting cover-up reeks of royal privilege. Benedict Thorpe disappears without a trace, and Lulu embarks on a journey to London and beyond to unpick Thorpe’s complicated family history: a fateful love affair, a wartime tragedy, and a mother from whom all joy is stolen. The stories of two unforgettable women thread together in this extraordinary epic of espionage, sacrifice, love, and courage, set against a shocking true crime . . . and the rise and fall of a legendary royal couple.Performed by Cassandra Campbell and Saskia Maarleveld
