Think sleaze is a modern invention?
Not a bit. A new musical, set in the
swinging sixties, is a light hearted look
at what was, at the time, the biggest
scandal ever to be uncovered by the
British Press.
It draws its inspiration from true events
in the life of Christine Keeler, the
60’s girl whose exploits prompted the
resignation of a senior Tory Minister and
exposed sleaze and corruption at the
heart of the Establishment.
15 original songs which capture the
diversity of popular musical styles of
that time with titles such as “Wodka”,
“He Would Say That Wouldn’t He?” and
Why Do My Men Treat Me Mean?”.
Tickets £12 and £10 concessions,
or why not combine a pre-theatre
‘60s style’ meal at The Warehouse
Restaurant, Chapel Street North with
theatre ticket for £20?
