Southwark Playhouse Elephant

A film legend, a rising star, a fading talent, and an ambitious agent come together in this scathing, witty look at the darker side of 1950s Hollywood, where everyone must abide by an unspoken code to survive. Catch the UK premiere of this darkly funny and emotionally resonant play written by Michael McKeever and directed by Christopher Renshaw, where rich storytelling and a stellar cast shine a light on the realities of queerness in the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Three women, separated by space and time: a 17th century minister's wife in Scotland, an 18th century Irish teenager, and a queer woman in present-day America. Told through a gorgeous, stirring blend of folk music and modern original songs performed by an all-female band, this powerful, emotionally resonant musical makes its London premiere with an unmissable 8-week run in 2026.
