Babs

This narrative follows the life of Dame Barbara Windsor, a spirited Cockney girl known for her radiant smile and remarkable talent. On a chilly evening in 1993, as she prepares for a theatre performance, the lively and vivacious Babs reflects on the influential people and pivotal events that have shaped her life and career over the span of fifty years, from 1943 to 1993. She reminisces about her solitary childhood and the experience of being evacuated during WWII, her transformation from Barbara Ann Deeks to Barbara Windsor inspired by Queen Elizabeth II’s Coronation, her complex relationship with her father, her ill-fated marriage to Ronnie Knight, her rise to fame under the guidance of Joan Littlewood, and her iconic role as the blonde bombshell in the Carry On films. Despite her personal struggles, Babs remains a true professional, never disappointing her fans as she steps onto the stage to thunderous applause.
