Swipe Right Theatre will take its 2019 Edinburgh Festival Fringe hit Scream Phone on the road from 29 October until 26 November 2021.
Written and performed by Swipe Right’s co-founders Natasha Granger and Kerrie Thomason, the 1989-set musical that takes its inspiration from the retro board game Dream Phone will be directed by Tom Parry with arrangements and music by Martin Higgins, set design by Casey Jay Andrews and lighting design by David Doyle. Further casting will be announced soon.
Scream Phone will open at London’s Soho Theatre from 28-30 October. The production will then visit the Old Joint Stock in Birmingham (3-6 November), The Mill Studio at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre in Guildford (10 November), The Wardrobe Theatre in Bristol (11-12 November), The Rondo Theatre in Bath (13 November), Leighton Buzzard Library Theatre (17 November), the Town and Gown Theatre in Cambridge (18-20 November) and Komedia in Brighton (26 November).
Scream Phone premiered at The Vaults in 2019 before playing a sold-out run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe and embarking on its first national tour.
Swipe Right’s debut show, girl power musical 2 Become 1 played sold-out runs at three successive Edinburgh Fringe Festivals followed by a successful run at the King’s Head in London.
Inspired by the music of their youth, Thomason and Granger’s tale of four best friends on a wild night on the town takes its audience on a female fuelled trip through the music and mood of 1990s Britain.
