Red Ladder Theatre
Company presents the world premiere of Boff Whalley’s Big Society! A Music Hall Comedy at City Varieties Leeds (18th Jan – 4th Feb) featuring The Big Society Band (aka Chumbawamba) and Phill Jupitus amongst others. The story follows the on- and off-stage exploits of the cast of a 1910 Music Hall variety show, fighting for survival, threatened with shock/horror disclosures by a corrupt and moralistic newspaper, The Double Standard. ”Trapped between an elitist, public-schooled government and a two-faced, mercenary press, the performers grapple to justify their existence and hold onto their jobs – that is, until Eve, escapologist and mistress to King Edward VII, decides to take things into her own hands.” Find out more: 0113 243 0808;
