Product Information

Award-winning playwright Jo Denver rediscovers the author, and captures the time with a lavish sense of humour in her latest full length play The Making of a Great Lover.

The novel was written by Edith Winstanley Hull to fill in the lonely hours while her husband is away at WW1, and has a profound influence on young women in the English-speaking world – much to the disgust of the male population (and her husband) it scandalises, shocks and titillates all who read it.

The fee gives you the right to copy the script and musical scores that you have purchased as many times as you need for these performances.

To stage a performance, you must announce your performance dates to Maverick Musicals and state whether you are or are not charging for tickets. This will dictate what kind of royalty fee you will be invoiced for.

In 1918, little-known author Edith Winstanley Hull, a pig breeder’s wife from a little English village, pens a sensational novel – The Sheik – that eventually will rocket a struggling actor on the other side of the world to international stardom. The equivalent to Fifty Shades of Grey for the era, it was a racy and sumptuous tale about female sexuality and dared to be bold in a time when women still wore ankle-long tunics.

Around the same time, a young aspiring actor of Italian descent is trying to break into the new silent movie industry. His looks and culture are against him until The Sheik is made into a movie. The novel shoots to the top of the best-seller list and the movie makes a star of the young actor, Rudolph Valentino, earning him the title of The Great Lover.
