Southwark Playhouse announces three new “encore” on-demand video streams of musicals performed from the theatre during lockdown.

Songs from Treason, the exciting new musical drama based on the notorious gunpowder plot of 1605, will now be performed and filmed live in concert and available to stream for a limited time from 12-14 February 2021. Featuring a fusion of original folk and pop songs, this wonderful new musical tells one of the most intriguing tales in England's history.  

Set in 'Ancient Greece,' GODS & KINGS is an original alt-rock musical that boldly brings to life the timeless fable of The Bacchae. The story centers on the conflict between the unyieldingly rational King Pentheus (Ben Garrett) and the wildly anarchic God Dionysus (Jonathan Grunert) as they struggle for influence and power over the people of Thebes. With music by Neil Douglas Reilly (Rocky, The Gershwins' Porgy & Bess) and book and lyrics by Austin Ruffer, the musical asks: Do people really have to live a life stuck between Gods and Kings?
