New
Lenkiewicz Play at Soho
Rebecca Lenkiewicz' new play Shoreditch Madonna will premiere
at the Soho Theatre where she was a Writer on Attachment, opening on
12th July (previews from 6th) and running until 6th August. Directed
by Sean Mathias, it is a "modern tale of love and loss set against
the underground art world of London's East End".
Lenkiewicz (see Philip Fisher's interview
with her) won a Fringe First with her first play Soho
- A Tale of Table Dancers and then, earlier this year, won the
Most Promising Playwright award from the Critics' Circle for Night
Season at the National.
In October the Soho will premiere Toby Whithouse’s latest play,
Blue Eyes and Heels, which will star The Office's Martin
Freeman. A play about the media, it will be directed by Jonathan Lloyd.
