Join Missus Mooney* on a walk through the darker side of Victorian history. Some would have us believe life in this era was  never ending highbrow parties, elegant dresses and elitist gentleman’s clubs but truth be told, there was a dark and tragic side that is rarely spoken of!

Welcome to me parlour, lovelies! I’m Missus Eugenia Mooney – but me friends call me “Missus M”.

Along with me lovely husband – a somewhat roguish Irishman named Michael Furey; we bring Victorian and Edwardian history to life through our character portrayals, lectures, courses and parlour theatre events. I consider meself an educated lady of some note albeit me life started in the darkest corners of East London. I love to read – n’ even though me east-end accent may be a mite harsh, I assure ye I’m a lady of substance n’ integrity! Always up fer some fun n’ a wee bit o’ trouble. Some have even taken upon themselves te say I be adventurous!

So there ye have it…straightforward and simple enough. Pour yerself a tea (or something a mite stronger?), pull up a comfy seat, relax and enjoy a stroll through the past!

Missus Mooney is a Victorian character I created to teach people the history of this intriguing era. Her back story is dark and tenebrous, as well as intriguing and engaging. She is a fascinating woman who is outspoken and slightly ahead of her time.

*Seika Groves who portrays Missus Mooney holds a degree in Social Anthropology &  Archaeology as well as being an historian of the Victorian and Edwardian eras.
