Mrs Gucci Comes To The London Stage

She has just walked free from prison, and now, Patrizia Reggiani is the focus of a new musical, set to be perfomed on the london stage next weekend. Regiani , who arranged at hitman to murder her ex-husband and Gucci boss Maurizio Gucci in 1995, was quietly released last month and is currently working for Italian Accessories label Bozart as part of her parole conditions.

Entitled Mrs Gucci, the musical documents Reggiani's plinght and sees British actress Julie Atherton take on the lead role. It has already  received Stephen Fry's seal of approval - the author, actor and screenwriter tweeted last week: "Hear Mrs Gucci sing about the murder of her husband dont miss this unique 1 off performance starring @Julie_Atherton."

Reggiani, nicknamed The Black Widow, was spotted for the first time since her release shopping in milan last week, making it entirely possible that the cast of Mrs Gucci could perform to Mrs Gucci.

Mrs Gucci will be performed at the Arts Theathre London on October 13.
