Play On!

Details

A night at the theatre! The Lyric in Hammersmith has a real razzmatazz` production just about to start but don't take my word for it... here is the write up:

A Jazz musical based on Shakespeare’s “Twelfth Night”
What does it take for a woman to make it in a man’s world?
Meet Vy, a talented songwriter looking to make it big in the 1940’s Harlem scene. She quickly learns from her uncle Jester that women will never be taken seriously in a man’s world. But, like many a strong hero, she refuses to accept defeat. Through her gender fluid cunning, she meets club owner The Duke and sensational nightclub singer Lady Liv and is swept up in a syncopated symphony of melodies, mistaken identities and romance. Who will come out on top?
Play On! is set in the jazz scene of New York’s Cotton Club. This stylish retelling of Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, directed by Talawa’s Artistic Director Michael Buffong (A Kind of People, Royal Court; All My Sons, Talawa and Royal Exchange) fuses the thrilling music of Duke Ellington with street dance choreography.
Prepare to be wowed by this musical spectacular that will have your toes tapping and hands clapping along with the timeless soundtrack.

One of our members pointed out this link which is currently booking tickets for £10. I have got mine in row Q so book yourself and see you all there on the night: https://oltsale.seetickets.com/s/event/play-on-/lyric-hammersmith/349501
The lyric is a few hundred yards from Hammersmith tube station so a quick exit at the end of the night makes for a convenient and stress free evening.

Please show your interest here. If I get 8 of us to go or more I shall pay for the tickets in one go and then ask for the payment.
