Produced by Emma Hall and directed by Charlie Parham.
Inspired by the iconic heritage of Wilton's, Antic Productions
invites you to celebrate the herstory of music hall – from the Victorian East End to
present-day Tower Hamlets.
You don't need to know your Peggy Prydes from your Bessie Bellwoods to have a ball
with the pride of London's cabaret, drag and comedy artists. Come and see these
mad, wicked follies slaying the velvet!

Antic Productions returns following its recent UK premiere
production of Jen Silverman's queer spectacle Collective Rage: A Play
in 5 Betties (6 OFFIE Award Nominations, including a finalist
nomination for Best Production). Inaugurated as Antic Face with a sell-out
production at the Victoria and Albert Museum, the 'bold young company'
(Guardian) has since produced acclaimed new plays across London. Led by
Producer/Actor Emma Hall (Ian Charleson Award Nominee) and Director/Performer
Charlie Parham (also one fifth of drag band DENIM), Antic Productions was
appointed an Associate Company of English Touring Theatre in 2018.
Running time: approximately 2 hours, including a 20 minute interval.
