London Road by Alecky Blythe

London Road by Alecky Blythe

An experimental and challenging work which reveals the ways in which even the darkest experiences can engender a greater sense of our mutual dependence.

'This miraculously innovative show finds a new way of representing reality [and] opens up rich possibilities for musical theatre'

* Guardian *

'An astonishing document about a beleaguered yet resilient community.. a startling, magically original success'

* Evening Standard *

'The most genuinely interesting and innovative new musical I've seen for ages'

-- Michael Coveney * WhatsOnStage *
