Synopsis

A new play from the writer of Kindertransport.

It is 1919. The Great War is over and Poppy Wright arrives in London from the north of England to make her mark in the world. Deep in the heart of the East End she finds work in Smith's tailor and costumiers workshop, where she meets dashing chauffeur George, and falls in love.

This is a time of change and opportunity, emerging from the losses of war, when all are questioning who they are and what roles they can play in forging a new, modern era. It's time to ditch the corset and discover who really wears the trousers.

Poppy + George is a romantic drama with music inspired by the days of music hall and beyond, drawing on a world of female impersonators, popular song and double entendre. It was first performed at the Watford Palace Theatre in 2016.
