Cable Street at Marylebone Theatre

Following two completely sold-out runs at Southwark Playhouse last year, the musical Cable Street returns to London with its latest iteration.

Presented by 10 to 4 Productions, written by Tim Gilvin and Alex Kanefsky and directed by Adam Lenson, this exciting production takes us back to October 1936, in the heart of London’s East End. Sammy, Mairead and Ron are carving out their own futures on Cable Street when Oswald Mosley’s British Union of Fascists start to march on East London. One hundred thousand Jews, Irish workers and communists unite to blockade the road they call home. As the people raise their voices and take a united stand against hatred, the lives of the streets’ residents are changed forever.

Featuring a powerful and contemporary score (listen below), Cable Street is an electrifying reimagining of one of London’s most significant days.

A celebration of community and a rallying call to action, this timeless story is as powerful today as it ever was.
