Souvenir, written by Stephen Temperley, runs at Blackfriars Theatre September 4–14, 2025, as part of the company's 76th season. The play tells the story of Florence Foster Jenkins, a socialite soprano who believed herself to be one of the greatest singers of her time, and the pianist who accompanied her on her unlikely journey to Carnegie Hall. It is a story of self-belief, friendship, and the nature of talent itself.
