⭐ THE WICKER HUSBAND TO RETURN TO THE WATERMILL THEATRE ⭐
The critically acclaimed musical The Wicker Husband will return to The Watermill Theatre, it has been announced.
A captivating musical featuring ‘delightfully vivid’ puppetry and ‘richly evocative’ music, The Wicker Husband returns to The Watermill following its premature closure in March 2020 due to the pandemic.
Folk-inspired new musical The Wicker Husband tells the timeless tale of the outsider.
In a superficial world, where beauty is only skin-deep, meet the so-called ‘Ugly Girl’.
Ostracised by the shallow townsfolk because she doesn’t fit in, the Ugly Girl becomes the envy of her neighbours when the mysterious Old Basketmaker makes her a strong and loving husband woven from living wicker. As bitter rivalry and jealousy threaten to tear the community apart, the townsfolk embark on a cruel and destructive plan. Will the Ugly Girl’s happiness be ruined forever?
The Wicker Husband was the winner of the inaugural MTI Stiles + Drewe Mentorship Award in 2016 celebrating new British musical theatre writers and was included in the National Alliance for Musical Theatre’s 30th Annual Festival of New Musicals in New York.
The Wicker Husband has a book by Rhys Jennings, music and lyrics by Darren Clark and based on an original short story by Ursula Wills-Jones.
The Wicker Husband will play The Watermill Theatre, running from 11th – 26th March 2022.
Tickets are on general sale from 9th November 2021.
