Guests from Kenneth More Theatre, London are touring Klaipėda and bring to the Klaipėda Drama Theater the true story of the Siamese twin sisters Violet and Daisy Hilton, which has become a world sensation.
Violet and Daisy Hilton were born in 1908. Brighton, Great Britain. Since birth, Siamese twins have been through endless trials. The very first of them was that the mother disowned her newborn babies and sold them to the owner of the bar where she gave birth. She soon began to profit from these babies by displaying them in public for money. Later, the twins were bought by an influential figure in the world of show business, Meyer Meyers, and he forced them, under conditions of slavery, to appear in "freak shows" among other persons, who also have physical disabilities of one kind or another. For many years, the twins did not receive any reward for such performances, they were treated inhumanely, meanwhile, thanks to the girls, the fortune of Meyer Meyers continued to grow. However, the story of Violet and Daisy does not end here, it just begins... The girls, with the help of lawyers, free themselves from the slavery system created by Meyer Meyers, start producing themselves and soon become the highest paid vaudeville performers in the history of vaudeville. They begin filming in the cinema, attract the attention of men, become famous and desirable world stars, and finally go to America, Hollywood, to fulfill their big dreams and satisfy their ever-growing ambitions.
