![]() ![]() Nancy had been content to love Kitty secretly for almost a year before realising that Kitty felt the same way about her, and they started their secret romance. Shockingly for the times, both girls wore their hair short, like a boy’s, for their act. The two girls lived and worked together for some time before Nancy joined Kitty on stage, singing and dancing in men’s clothes. Eventually Kitty was offered work in a better theatre in London and asked Nancy to go with her as her dresser, an opportunity which Nancy leapt at. Nancy went to every one of Kitty’s shows until someone introduced her to Kitty and they became friends. Nancy was a teenager when she first saw Kitty Butler impersonating a London ‘masher’ on stage and was instantly smitten. It is set in the late 1800s in London and tells the story of a young woman who falls in love with a music-hall entertainer, leaving her family and security to follow her heart.
