Swan Song

Thur 20 - Fri 21 July, 7.30pm - Full £10.00 (Conc. £7.50)

Late October, Moscow centre, the closing night of the legendary Vasili Sveitlovidoff’s final performance. But for one mysterious audience member, the actor is nowhere to be found.

Join us for the world premiere of Zara Harris’ debut musical, 'Swan Song’, directed by Eva Lafontan. This sung-through retelling of Chekhov’s play follows actor Sveitlovidoff on his final night in the theatre, as he looks back on his life, and the sacrifices he made to become the revered actor he is today. With orchestrations by Matthew Stanley, this musical fuses symphonic and orchestral rock, jazz and R&B to create a whirlwind retelling of a story of love, power, loss and artistry, with villainous managers, mysterious visitors and an actor who needs to find peace with his past.
