Set against the fledgling rock ‘n’ roll scene of 50s Soho, the play, which won the 1996 Laurence Olivier Award for Best New Comedy, delves into the sleazy underworld and power games of London’s “most infamous district”.
The play marks Harry Potter star Rupert Grint‘s professional stage acting debut.
