Lucy will take the show to the Soho Theatre in December and February - buy tickets here. ‘Beautifully absurd, extremely funny and self-referential… Unapologetically feminist and queer…’ ★★★★ The Stage ‘Beautifully crafted to deconstruct the society in which it exists… admirably fierce and triumphantly queer.’ ★★★★★ London Theatre 1 ‘It’s a glorious, rollicking riot of a play which pushes absurdity to the limit – but never at the cost of its soppy human heart.’ ★★★★ The Arts Desk Lucy is a very talented actor/performer whose hit show TRIPLE THREAT, took the Edinburgh Fringe by storm and had a sell-out run at the Soho Theatre in March, April and December of 2017. TRIPLE THREAT showed post-popular prodigy Lucy McCormick and her Girl Squad presenting a provocative, subversive cabaret retelling of the greatest story of all time. Lucy has been nominated for the TBC Award at the 2018 Off West End (Offie) Awards for TRIPLE THREAT. Reviews for Lucy's TRIPLE THREAT: 'A filthy and utterly hilarious New Wave Testament by the smart and fearless Lucy McCormick' ✭✭✭✭ The Stage 'One of the most extraordinary and extreme performers on the Fringe' ✭✭✭✭ The Scotsman 'Lucy McCormick makes her solo debut with what is either the best or the worst show at the 2016 Edinburgh Fringe – or probably more accurately, both at the same time' ✭✭✭✭✭ Time Out Lucy layed the lead role in the Soho Theatre's production, ROLLER DINER, in May and June of 2017. The show received rave reviews. Upcoming called it a “classic like Rocky Horror”.

Further reviews for Lucy: 'Lucy McCormick has the moves of Beyonce, the lungs of Christina Aguilera and the morals of a punk iconoclast... As a comedian she is fearless. As a performer she is reckless... She is one of the most extraordinary and extreme performers on the Fringe' The Scotsman 'A boundary-pulverising event... Fantastically entertaining' The Guardian 'Shocking, hilarious and profound' Exeunt ‘Joyously depraved.’ Time Out ‘Triple Threat is a minor miracle.’ WhatsOnStage ‘A phenomenally watchable performer. With McCormick, anything is a possibility.

  • PRESS RELEASE Friday 1 February 2019
    PRESS RELEASE Friday 1 February 2019 WRITERS RABIAH HUSSAIN, LETTIE PRECIOUS AND ROSS WILLIS AWARDED THE FIRST ROYAL COURT THEATRE AND KUDOS WRITING FELLOWSHIPS Ross Willis, Lettie Precious, Rabiah Hussain. Photo credit: Ali Wright Last night the Royal Court Theatre and Kudos announced that writers Rabiah Hussain, Lettie Precious and Ross Willis had been selected to each receive £10,000 through new writing fellowships created by the two companies. This is the first year that the fellowships, which support three writers already establishing a career in order to focus purely on their writing for six months, have been in place. Commenting on the Fellowships Lucy Morrison, Royal Court Associate Director said; “Stories are still one of the most powerful ways we have to get people to imagine a different life, a different world and to understand our experiences as humans. We need to ensure that the right people are given the opportunities to tell their stories and this fellowship enables that. These three extraordinary writers can make change happen. Together with Kudos, we will support, challenge them and celebrate them to make art and tell the stories everyone needs to hear.” Diederick Santer, CEO of Kudos added; “I’m truly buzzing at the potential of these three writers and delighted that Kudos has joined forces with the Royal Court again to find and encourage fresh new voices. This scheme really gets to the heart of the issue for any emerging writer; how to live while building a career. It will be thrilling to see how these incredibly talented writers develop given the space and support to immerse themselves entirely in their work.” The Royal Court and Kudos met with 13 writers who perceived that there are barriers to getting their work developed and produced in theatre and television.

    Harrington’s Pie and Mash Shop 3 Selkirk Road Tooting, London. Open for business since 1908. RACHEL EDWARDS JENNY GERSTEN SEAVIEW PRODUCTIONS NATE KOCH, Executive Producer FIONA RUDIN BARROW STREET THEATRE JEAN DOUMANIAN REBECCA GOLD “A Customer!” present My name is Rachel Edwards and I am the originating producer of Tooting Arts Club’s Sweeney The Tooting Arts Club production of Todd. On behalf of myself, and my producing partners Jenny Gersten, Greg Nobile, Jana Shea and Nate Koch, it is our pleasure to welcome you to Harrington’s Pie and Mash Shop! In the spring of 1908, number 3 Selkirk Road Tooting, London, became the home of Harrington’s Pie and Mash shop when it was bought by Bertie Harrington and his wife Clara. Little has changed in this tiny Tooting eatery since it first opened for business some 109 years ago. The Harrington fam- ily still run the shop, the original green tiles still adorn the walls and the menu remains unchanged since the days of Queen Victoria. A Musical Thriller Music and Lyrics Book by The idea to stage Sweeney Todd in London’s oldest pie and mash shop was one which I lived with for several years before I dared to say it out loud. It felt too outrageous, too complicated, in essence – it felt impossible. A simple ‘yes’ from Beverley Mason – owner of Harrington’s, and great STEPHEN SONDHEIM HUGH WHEELER grand-daughter of Bertie and Clara – changed everything. Subsequently, an unforgettable collabora- tion was born that set in motion a chain of events that was nothing short of extraordinary.
