Award-winning Wasted, the rock musical that re-imagines the lives of the Bronte siblings in a modern setting, will receive its world premiere as a fully-staged show at the Southwark Playhouse this autumn.
Presented by Oli Sones and Sally Humphreys Productions, the show features a rock score by Olivier Award-winning Christopher Ash (Showstoppers) and a book and lyrics by Carl Miller (Emil and the Detectives).
One of the winners of the now discontinued Kevin Spacey Foundation award for UK Musical Theatre, Wasted was originally developed at BEAM and showcased at Theatre Royal Stratford East’s Musical Theatre Workshop before it debuted as a work in progress at the West Yorkshire Playhouse as part of the venue’s Bronte season in 2016.
Director Adam Lenson will once again take the helm of the show when it plays the south London venue for a limited four-week run from Thursday 6 September until Saturday 6 October 2018.
Presented in the style of a rock documentary, Wasted tells the story of the three Brontë sisters and their brother Branwell in a tale of unrequited love, family feuds and untimely death.
