Manic Street Creature, directed by Kirsty Patrick Ward, has opened at the Southwark Playhouse. After its multi-award-winning run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe last year, the celebrated musical can now be enjoyed in London.
Love, lust, and late nights collide in a musical roller coaster, taking the audience through the euphoria and distress of two people dealing with their own and each other’s mental health.
Ria is working with her band to complete a new album – songs charting the rise and fall of a recent relationship. But the more Ria progresses, the more she’s drawn back to the darkness of her troubled past, until we’re not sure where memory ends and reality begins.
The musical’s creator Maimuna Memon stars as Ria and is joined by Rachel Barnes as Heidi, and Harley Johnston as Raz.
Tickets can be purchased on the Southwark Playhouse website.
