"Beautifully described - packed with wit and self deprecations - had the audience laughing out loud." Musical Theatre Matters

Lost Soul Music is a Talking Heads for the burlesque generation, a series of darkly intimate, devilishly funny shows, each one offering a unique theatrical treat. Whether sold for a song, sacrificed for love or simply lost in the post, we're sure you'll never look at your soul in quite the same way again.Catch these exclusive preview performances this Autumn from September 30th to October 3rd at the Pleasance, Islington and October 5th-10th at 41 Monkgate, York.

THE SHOWS:

Simon Says. A simple tale of unrequited love, and the sacrifices a man will make to gain his heart’s desire. Just how much of yourself would you be prepared to give up in order to be with your beloved?
[Commended for acting and writing and nominated for best overall show by Spotlight’s Emerging Artists’ Awards.]

The Devil You Know. Everyone has demons of their own: only Helen’s answer back. She’s come to tell her sorry tale of suffering and self-sacrifice, while they’re keen to remind her that the road to Hell is paved with good intentions.

All the Best Tunes. A story as old as the hills: Boy meets girl. Boy loves girl. Boy sells his soul for a song in order to win her heart. Because the boy is an idiot, naturally.

Fisher of Men. All of life can be found down by the river – everything’s there, if you look close enough. It’s here that Johnnie finds his purpose – his plan. There by the bank side at the tender age of seven and three quarters, Johnnie finds his life’s calling.

Soldier of Fortune. In the heat of battle a frightened soldier opts for ignoble life over a glorious death. What follows is his story, taking us from the walls of Troy to the fall of Baghdad, as he attempts to pay off his debt.

Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Henry Horatio Swann has a problem - he's lost something, you see - lost it in the post, as it happens, and if he can't get it back he's not quite sure what he'll do. A bittersweet tale of love, devotion and sorting offices.
