Olivier Award winner Maimuna Memon’s Manic Street Creature has returned in a new production, running to 28 March, directed by Kirsty Patrick Ward and designed by Libby Watson – and you can see photos here.

Featuring music, lyrics, book and musical arrangement by Memon, the gig theatre piece follows the journey of a singer-songwriter from Lancashire to London, recording her debut album with her band, while experiencing the highs and lows of a first love.

The production features lighting designer Jessica Hung Han Yun, sound designer Sound Quiet Time, and music consultant Tom Deering. The team also includes creative associate Pia Ashcroft and movement director Anjali Mehra. 

It was previously seen at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2022 and at Southwark Playhouse Borough in autumn 2023.
