Cast Set For DERRIÈRE ON A G STRING at King's Head Theatre

Sammy Moore, Cam Tweed, Ryan Upton, Alice O'Brien, Courtney Cyrus, Ena Yamaguchi will star in Derrière on a G String, directed by Alfred Taylor-Gaunt at the King's Head Theatre. Performances run 6 May - 7 June 2026.

Very fun, quite silly, and rather naughty; this new must-see comedy - previously staged at Sadler's Wells -  delights in turning some of the greatest classical music hits into a homoerotic romp of glorious chaos.

Think Matthew Bourne meets Mr Bean, set to everyone's favourite classical music... With a comic sensibility that winks at Laurel and Hardy and Mitchell and Webb, Derrière on a G String flirts with dance and physical comedy to explore — without words — the awkward, hilarious, and unexpected moments of modern life.

This original 75-minute sequence of visual sketches by Some Smith and Moore promises an evening that is mischievous, utterly unpredictable and, of course, a little bit cheeky.
Sammy Moore starred previously in Derrière on a G String at Sadler's Wells, Endgame by Beckett  (Edinburgh Fringe) and Games and After Liverpool (EdFringe & London). His Film and TV credits include Evermoor Chronicles (Disney), Father Brown (BBC), Haunted (Netflix), Carters Get Rich (Sky), Sadie Sparks (Disney).
