Are modesty and self-deprecation female conditioning, or the female condition? 45 years ago, playwriting legend Arnold Wesker (Roots, Chips With Everything) wrote Annie Wobbler especially for his friend, Olivier Award winner Nichola McAuliffe, in a critically acclaimed production which transferred to the West End. Now, nearly half a century later, she returns to reinhabit Wesker's characters in a joyful, humorous yet profound study of three very different women – and their Imposter Syndrome.
