The Shocking Truth About Flat Earth is an original musical comedy by Moneypenny and Tuffrey, directed by Karl Steele, blending conspiracy theories and catchy tunes to tell the story of Sharon Hargreaves, a flat-Earth believer who heads to a convention in Vegas and spirals into chaos and unexpected self-discovery. The cast features Emma Norman, Emma Thornett, Michael Joseph, Tom Dickerson, and Leonie Wall. The musical uses the flat-earth theory as a lens to explore misinformation, belonging, and human vulnerability. It was developed by Wolverhampton Grand Theatre following its premiere at The Cockpit in September 2025.
