Edge Hill University Third Year Musical Theatre Students present:
Southbound
Book by Katie Mulgrew
Music and lyrics by Vikki Stone
Southbound is a post-apocalyptic dark comedy musical epic.
Global warming and endless wars have decimated the planet as sea levels have risen beyond all expectations. Only 5% of the UK’s population remain. And following a particularly brutal pandemic, women outnumber men by 5000:1. At a former service station, now the heavily guarded border crossing of the new capital city of Sheffield, an outcast group of women capture Society’s most precious commodity – a man.
Inspired by the comedic abandon of Book of Mormon, the sisterhood of Orange Is the New Black, and the twisted world of The Last of Us, Southbound seeks to reset expectations of the stakes, scale and ambition of stories told in musical theatre.
You’ve never seen anything like it.
Age recommendation: 16+. Strong language and themes of a sexual nature.
