Gagglebabble, the company I run with Hannah McPake, has always been interested in mixing the buzz and excitement of a live gig with the storytelling and drama of theatre. With Sinners Club, we collaborated with co-producers The Other Room in Cardiff and Theatr Clwyd in Mold to push that gig-theatre form to its limits, trying to do away with a relentless focus on narrative and make the songs work on their own.
Theatr Clwyd, Gagglebabble and The Other Room today announce that their sell-out co-production of Sinners Club by Lucy Rivers, inspired by the story of Ruth Ellis the last woman to be hanged in Britain - transfers to the Soho Theatre.
Finborough Theatre's final season of 2017 brings together the two strands of our multi-award-winning artistic policy - vibrant new writing and unique rediscoveries - with three plays unseen in the UK for many years, and twelve new plays from the UK, the US and Canada.
The Marlowe's first show at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is wowing audiences and reviewers.
