TO A CLIP FROM 'WAXING LYRICAL'
SYNOPSIS:
"History is an account not of what
actually happened, but of what people think happened" Queen
Victoria
Marie Tussaud was a remarkable
woman. She escaped the guillotine and survived the horrors of
the French revolution. She toured the towns of Britain for
thirty three hard years with her travelling wax cabinet,
fighting off competition against a background of fire, riot,
shipwreck and betrayal. She personified persistence, fortitude,
dedication and self belief. Why does every one know of her
exhibition but no one knows her story?
