Call Me Elizabeth at 59E59 Theaters

Fresh off her 1961 Academy Awards triumph and a recent brush with death, Elizabeth Taylor is struggling with her hardest role yet: herself. Through an intimate conversation with her biographer, “Call Me Elizabeth” examines the movie star’s early life, career and loves as she grapples with the culture of celebrity and her place as Hollywood’s brightest star. The play is inspired by Taylor’s conversations with writer Max Lerner at The Beverly Hills Hotel.

“Call Me Elizabeth" will be presented July 15–18 by KB Productions at 59E59 Theaters as part of the 2023 East to Edinburgh Festival. Directed by Michael Weber, the critically acclaimed production is written by and stars Kayla Boye in “a shattering, exquisite performance that should not be missed” (Chicago Theatre Review) and “a brilliant, must-watch for any Elizabeth Taylor fan” (EdFringeReview.com).
