⭐ CABLE STREET – A NEW MUSICAL – WORLD PREMIERE ANNOUNCED FOR SOUTHWARK PLAYHOUSE BOROUGH ⭐
The world premiere of a new British musical CABLE STREET has been announced for Southwark Playhouse Borough.
CABLE STREET tells the story of the people of the East End and their community solidarity in 1936, as three young impoverished British workers: 19 year old Jewish lad Sammy, Mairead a feisty Irish Catholic baker, and Ron a recent arrival to Cable Street but a Lancastrian born and bred – all try to find work and passionately live their lives in the multi-cultural melting pot that was, and still is, Cable Street E1.
Their lives would change forever on Sunday 4th October 1936, when the East End showed its powerful ability to unite in the face of adversity as the Battle of Cable Street was fought and won – but which side will the youngsters and their families be fighting on?
CABLE STREET is a powerful musical showing how a disparate group of people can unite to stand against fascism – and to make a difference.
The musical will by directed by Adam Lenson, with musical direction by Tamara Saringer, choreography by Melody Sinclair, costume design by Lu Herbert, set design by Yoav Segal, lighting design by Sam Waddington, casting director Sarah Leung, PR by DGPR, dramaturg Olivia Mace and artwork by Bob King. Produced by Dylan Schlosberg’s 10 to 4 Productions & Neil Marcus.
CABLE STREET is written by Alex Kanefsky, with music & lyrics by Tim Gilvin.
CABLE STREET will play Southwark Playhouse Borough, running from 16th February – 16th March 2024, with tickets on sale now.
