Early life
[
edit
]
Routledge was born on 17 February 1929 in
Tranmere
in
Birkenhead
,
Cheshire
.
[2]
Her father was a
haberdasher
and gentlemen's outfitter.
[3]
She was educated at
Birkenhead High School
,
[4]
and the
University of Liverpool
.
[5]
She gained a degree with honours in English Language and Literature.
[6]
She was involved in the university's dramatic society, where she worked closely with the academic
Edmund Colledge
, who both directed and acted in several of the society's productions. It was Colledge who persuaded her to pursue an acting career.
[7]
After graduating, she trained at the
Bristol Old Vic Theatre School
and returned to Liverpool to begin her acting career at the Liverpool Playhouse.
[8]
Career
[
edit
]
Theatre
[
edit
]
Routledge has had a long career in theatre, particularly musical theatre, in the United Kingdom and the United States. Her vocal range was labelled as a mezzo-soprano and a contralto. She has been a long-standing member of the
Royal Shakespeare Company
(RSC), appearing in such acclaimed productions as the 1984
Richard III
, which starred
Antony Sher
in the title role.
[9]
[10]
Her
West End
credits include
Little Mary Sunshine
,
[11]
Cowardy Custard
,
[12]
Virtue in Danger
,
[13]
Noises Off
,
[14]
The Importance of Being Earnest
,
[15]
and
The Solid Gold Cadillac
,
[16]
as well as a number of less successful vehicles. She was nominated for the
Laurence Olivier Award for Best Actress in a Supporting Role
for her work in
And a Nightingale Sang
in 1979. A classically trained singer,
[17]
she has occasionally made forays into
operetta
including taking the title role in an acclaimed production of
Jacques Offenbach
's
La Grande-Duchesse de Gerolstein
at the 1978
Camden Festival
; "As the Grand Duchess she invested every phrase, spoken or sung [...] with wit and meaning, and coloured her tone to express a wide variety of emotions. Never did she resort to the hoydenish behaviour that this role ? in British productions at least ? seems to invite."
[18]
Routledge made her
Broadway
debut in
Roger Milner
's comedy
How's the World Treating You?
in 1966, returning in the short-lived 1968 musical
Darling of the Day
,
[19]
for which she won the Tony Award for Best Actress in a Musical, sharing the honour with
Leslie Uggams
of
Hallelujah, Baby!
[20]
Following this, Routledge had roles in several more unsuccessful Broadway productions including a musical called
Love Match
, in which she played
Queen Victoria
; the legendary 1976
Leonard Bernstein
flop
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
, in which she portrayed every
U.S. First Lady
from
Abigail Adams
to
Eleanor Roosevelt
;
[21]
and a 1981 musical,
Say Hello to Harvey
? based on the
Mary Coyle Chase
play
Harvey
(1944) ? which closed in
Toronto
before reaching New York City.
[22]
In 1980, Routledge played Ruth in the
Joseph Papp
production of
The Pirates of Penzance
, co-starring American actor
Kevin Kline
and pop vocalist
Linda Ronstadt
, at the
Delacorte Theatre
in New York City's
Central Park
, one of a series of
Shakespeare in the Park
summer events.
[23]
[24]
The show was a hit and transferred to Broadway the following January, with
Estelle Parsons
replacing Routledge. A DVD of the
Central Park
production, with Routledge, was released in October 2002. She also performed in
Facade
at New York's
Carnegie Recital Hall
.
[25]
Routledge won a
Laurence Olivier Award
in 1988 for her portrayal of the Old Lady in
Leonard Bernstein
's
Candide
in the London cast of the critically acclaimed
Scottish Opera
production.
[6]
One critic noted "She stopped the show with 'I am so easily assimilated', and her long narration worked on at least two levels ? it was both hilarious and oddly moving."
[26]
She also played the role of Nettie Fowler to great acclaim in the 1992
National Theatre
production of
Carousel
.
[27]
In a 2006
Hampstead Theatre
production of
The Best of Friends
, she portrayed Dame
Laurentia McLachlan
.
[28]
In 2008, she played Queen Mary in
Royce Ryton
's play
Crown Matrimonial
.
[29]
More recent work includes the role of Dame
Myra Hess
in the tribute show
Admission: One Shilling
from 2009, the narrator in
The Carnival of the Animals
with the
Nash Ensemble
in 2010,
[30]
and Lady Markby in
An Ideal Husband
at the Chichester Festival Theatre in 2014.
[31]
Since 2009, Routledge has toured with a show entitled
Facing The Music
. The show features insights into her musical theatre career.
[32]
Film and television
[
edit
]
Routledge's screen credits include
To Sir, with Love
(1967),
[33]
Pretty Polly
(1967),
[34]
30 Is a Dangerous Age, Cynthia
,
The Bliss of Mrs. Blossom
,
[35]
Don't Raise the Bridge, Lower the River
(all 1968),
[36]
If It's Tuesday, This Must Be Belgium
(1969) and
Girl Stroke Boy
(1971).
Routledge's early television appearances included a role in
Steptoe and Son
, in the episode "Seance in a Wet Rag and Bone Yard" (1974), as a
clairvoyant
called Madame Fontana. She also appeared in
Coronation Street
(1961),
[37]
and as a white witch in
Doctor at Large
(1971). Routledge played Mrs. Jennings in the BBC
mini-series
production of
Sense and Sensibility
(1971). However, she did not come to prominence on television until she featured in
monologues
written for her by
Alan Bennett
and later
Victoria Wood
in the 1980s. She first appeared in
A Woman of No Importance
, the second installment of Bennett's anthology,
Objects of Affection
in 1982.
[38]
She then played the opinionated
Kitty
in
Victoria Wood: As Seen on TV
in 1985. She performed two further monologues in Bennett's
Talking Heads
in 1988 and 1998. Routledge was nominated for a
British Academy Television Award for Best Actress
for the monologue "
A Lady of Letters
".
In 1990, Routledge accepted the lead role of Hetty Wainthropp in an ITV mystery drama,
Hetty Wainthropp: Missing Persons
. ITV opted not to pursue a series after the pilot episode, but in 1996 the BBC produced the first series of
Hetty Wainthropp Investigates
, with Routledge again in the lead role. The show co-starred
Dominic Monaghan
as her assistant and
Derek Benfield
as her husband. It was first aired in January 1996, and ran until the autumn of 1998. Monaghan, who went on to enjoy a Hollywood career, has since credited Routledge as "an amazing teacher" who taught him some "very valuable lessons" in acting.
[39]
In 1990, Routledge was cast as Hyacinth Bucket in the comedy series
Keeping Up Appearances
.
[40]
She portrayed a formerly working-class woman with social pretensions (insisting her surname be pronounced "bouquet") and
delusions of grandeur
(her oft-mentioned "candlelight suppers").
[41]
Routledge delighted in portraying Hyacinth, as she claimed she "couldn't stand people like her" in real life. In 1991, she won a
British Comedy Award
for her portrayal,
[42]
and she was later nominated for two
BAFTA
TV Awards in 1992 and 1993. Routledge quit the role in 1995, despite the series' ongoing popularity, as she wished to pursue other roles as an actress. In a 2017 interview, Routledge said: "I always thought of the great, great
Ronnie Barker
. He always left something when he was on a high, and it's much better to have people say now 'Oh, why didn't you do some more?' than having them say 'Oh, is that still on?'"
[43]
Another reason she wished to leave the role was that she felt that the writer
Roy Clarke
was "recycling some old ideas that we'd already dealt with".
[43]
Routledge has also played several real-life characters for television, including
Barbara Pym
and in a dramatised
BBC Omnibus
biographical documentary of 1994,
Hildegard of Bingen
.
[44]
In 2001, Routledge starred in
Anybody's Nightmare
, a fact-based television drama in which she played Sheila Bowler, a mother and piano teacher who served four years in prison for murdering her elderly aunt, but was later acquitted following a retrial.
[45]
In 2016, Routledge presented
Beatrix Potter with Patricia Routledge
on
Channel 4
, to celebrate the 150th anniversary of
Potter's
birth.
In January 2023,
Channel 5
aired a 67-minute special
Keeping Up Appearances
retrospective for their series "30 Years Of Laughs". Cast, crew and celebrities paid tribute to the show. The documentary featured an interview with Routledge, who was 93 at the time, sharing her memories of the show, along with supporting cast members
Judy Cornwell
,
Jeremy Gittins
and
David Janson
.
[46]
Radio and audio books
[
edit
]
In 1966, Routledge sang the role of Mad Margaret in
Ruddigore
, the title role in
Iolanthe
, and Melissa in
Princess Ida
, in a series of
BBC Radio
Gilbert and Sullivan
recordings.
[47]
She took part in a studio broadcast of
Tchaikovsky
's opera
Vakula the Smith
(narrating excerpts from the
work by Gogol
) in 1989.
[48]
In 2006, she was featured in an episode of the
Stage and Screen
series on
Radio 3
.
[49]
Routledge's extensive radio credits include several
Alan Bennett
plays and the BBC dramatisation of
Carole Hayman
's
Ladies of Letters
, in which she and
Prunella Scales
play retired women exchanging humorous correspondence over the course of several years.
[50]
A tenth series of
Ladies of Letters
premiered on
BBC Radio 4
in 2009.
[51]
Radio work prior to 1985 included
Private Lives
,
Present Laughter
,
The Cherry Orchard
,
Romeo and Juliet
,
Alice in Wonderland
and
The Fountain Overflows
.
[25]
Having a distinctive voice, Routledge has also recorded and released a variety of
audiobooks
including
unabridged
readings of
Wuthering Heights
and
Alice's Adventures in Wonderland
and abridged novelisations of the Hetty Wainthropp series.
[52]
Personal life
[
edit
]
Routledge has never married and has no children. In a 2001 interview, she said: "I didn't make a decision not to be married and not to be a mother. Life just turned out like that because my involvement in acting was so total". In the same interview, Routledge discussed two affairs she had been involved in: one with a married man whilst in her late 20s and the other being some years later with a man directing a play she was appearing in.
[53]
She has lived in
Chichester
since 2000
[54]
[55]
and regularly worships at
Chichester Cathedral
.
[6]
In 2020, she helped raise £10,000 towards the restoration of the cathedral roof.
[54]
Routledge is a patron of the
Beatrix Potter
Society
[56]
and an ambassador for the charity
Royal Voluntary Service
, previously known as WRVS.
[57]
Routledge was a close friend of former

,
Betty Boothroyd
. Her recording of "
Climb Ev'ry Mountain
" was played at Boothroyd's funeral in March 2023.
