A RED LADDER & CHUMBAWAMBA CO-PRODUCTION

Riot, Rebellion and Bloody Insurrection - A Musical Comedy

by Boff Whalley and Dom Grace      directed by Rod Dixon

December 1825. England is in the grip of a harsh winter, its army is fighting colonial battles abroad, and hunger and poverty are rife. Thousands are thrown out of work while the landed, property-owning few become indecently rich. Sound familiar?

Riot, Rebellion and Bloody Insurrection – a Musical Comedy tells the story of sassy Luddite rebel Elsie Proud as she wages war against the ruthless rags-to-riches boss Ernest Hardgristle and career climbing politician, Robert Catchpenny. With its riotous mix of theatre and music, banter and action, this show is for an audience looking for a world beyond TV Talent Contests and multi-millionaires taking multi-million pound pensions in this winter of recession.

Come and have a laugh as Red Ladder and Chumbawamba get together to sing, dance, cajole, poke fun and point fingers, all against a backdrop of our nation's radical past.  Unsuitable for under 14’s.
