Loving Miss Hatto

Drama inspired by the true story of classical pianist Joyce Hatto who, after years of frustration and broken dreams, finally found international fame in her 70s.

After years of frustration and broken dreams, classical pianist Joyce Hatto finally found international fame in her 70s, despite suffering from cancer. Dubbed 'the greatest living pianist no one has ever heard of', she had critics raving about her sublime recordings.

Yet six months after her death, many of these recordings were discovered to be by other pianists - the greatest hoax in classical music had been orchestrated from the small town of Royston, Hertfordshire.
