Summary/Abstract: "Stanley - premiered at the Royal National Theatre at the Cottesloe on 1 February 1996 - is one of the latest in an impressive series of biographical plays by Pam Gems, - born in rural England in 1925 - which include My Name is Rosa Luxembourg (1975), Queen Christina (1977), Piaf (1978), Camille (1984), Pasionaria (1985), The Blue Angel (1991) and Marlene (1996). Most of the plays preceding Stanley analyze the lives of women heroines and their painful struggle and inner conflict to maintain their individuality and to achieve their independence, especially when faced with dual roles such as public duties and private desires."
