The Party Girls Asthall Manor - Tour

The cast of The Party Girls visited Asthall Manor, one of the homes of the Mitford sisters, to learn more about its history and immerse themselves in the world of the family. Mon 1 ‐ Sat 6 Sep 2025 The glamorous Mitford girls cut a glorious swathe through pre-war high society, amidst the glittering world of debutantes and dukes so perfectly evoked in Nancy Mitford’s novels (The Pursuit of Love and Love in a Cold Climate). But as fascism rises and political storm clouds crackle over carefree country houses, the bonds of sisterhood are threatened by new and treacherous desires. Amy Rosenthal’s compelling, touching and witty new play explores the true story of a family riven by political extremism, seen through the eyes of Jessica (Decca) Mitford as she battles to stay true to her beliefs, whilst moving further and further from the values of her once-beloved sisters. Nancy aspires to be a celebrated novelist, Diana and Unity fall for the dangerous, charismatic leaders of the far right in Britain and Germany, and Debo sets her cap at a Duke. Meanwhile Decca crosses continents in her own passionate pursuit of love – but can she ever escape her sisters and her past? The Party Girls stars Kirsty Besterman (National Theatre’s Macbeth), Joe Coen (Leopoldstadt), Elisabeth Dermot Walsh (Doctors), Emma Noakes (Royal Shakespeare Company’s The Rover), Ell Potter (Cheaters) and Flora Spencer-Longhurst (And Then There Were None).
