Meet Mrs Ada Harris: she lives in the 1950s, she works as a charwoman, and in her chest, she has the warmest heart you have ever met. She is kind, honest, and humble. Hardly ever does she think of herself, all days she spends with taking care of households and lives of her clients. The only whim she may afford from her low salary is a few flowers regularly decorating the kitchen table.
One day, when cleaning a household of a rich lady, she saw something unbelievably stunning, something that she has not ever dreamed of: a gorgeous gown by Dior. And from this moment she is not scared of dreaming. This dress takes her breath away; it embodies all the higher values worth to attach to. She must have this dress as well!
On her long journey to the fashion miracle she has met a range of other characters – and her kindness more or less impress everybody who have met her. Mrs Harris is a proof that anything is possible, and that you may follow your dream carrying humanity in your heart.
The musical, whose plot is based on the humoristic novel of the same name from the 1950s, was staged for the first time in Sheffield, England, in 2016, and it won a UK Theatre Awards for Best Musical and for Best Performance in Musical. A fairy tale for grown-ups about the price of human kindness has its Czech premiere in Ostrava.

Czech premiere on 3 October 2020 at the Jiří Myron Theatre
