Gig musical No Love Songs to transfer to London
Exclusive: Dundee Rep’s hit production of No Love Songs is set to transfer to London this June.
Written by Kyle Falconer of Mercury Prize-nominated Scottish indie band The View, along with his partner Laura Wilde and Johnny McKnight, the gig-theatre musical offers a fresh and urgent perspective on love and new parenthood.
Following a successful run at the 2023 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the show will now play at Southwark Playhouse Elephant from Tuesday 4 June to Saturday 15 June 2024.
Featuring hits from Falconer’s solo album No Love Songs For Laura, including “Stress Ball” and “Mother,” the production was hailed as “an evening that is at once insightful and uplifting” in WhatsOnStage’s review at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Falconer and Wilde said: “We always aimed to get No Love Songs to a wider audience but knowing that it’s officially going to showcase in London is such an incredible feeling! We have had a lot of people messaging us from the area asking when it would be coming closer to them so we are honestly so pleased and can’t wait to get the audience feedback – we just know you’re going to love it!”
Co-directed by Dundee Rep’s artistic director, Andrew Panton, and associate director Tashi Gore, it has musical direction and arrangements by Gavin Whitworth, lighting design by Grant Anderson, sound design by Ritchie Young, set design by Leila Kalbassi and costume design by Cate Mackie.
Tickets for No Love Songs are now available.
