Birmingham Rep is to host a month of one-night-only productions in its largest performance space The House in September 2024.
Highlights include Wild Arts’ presentation of Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute, a “surreal, re-imagining” of the composer’s final opera, on Thursday 5 September.
Simmer Down Arts will present Glory, a musical theatre production which celebrates the life and legacy of Sister Rosetta Tharpe and the story of her 1964 gospel concert on a disused railway station in Manchester, on Saturday 7 September.
The Rep will also stage Boy Out of The City, Declan Bennett’s autobiographical one-man show about “gay shame, loneliness and banana bread, confronting his Catholic school days, discovering the gay scene in Soho and surviving the harsh bright lights of New York City in the midst of the COVID-19 lockdown” in one of its other spaces, The Door, from Wednesday 4 until Saturday 7 September.
