A presentation of an exhilarating brand-new musical comedy inspired by the extraordinary life of Sir Grayson Perry comes to Soho Theatre Walthamstow this July for a strictly limited series of preview performances. GRAYSON THE MUSICAL offers audiences an exclusive early glimpse of this brand-new musical comedy directed by Olivier Award-winner Sean Foley (The Ladykillers, Dr. Strangelove). Funny, irreverent and unexpectedly moving, the show tells the incredible true story of one of Britain’s most celebrated contemporary artists. Follow the character of Grayson as he struggles to make his mark on the world while never quite feeling like he fits in. From the wrong class, wearing the wrong dress and making all the wrong choices, Grayson’s journey takes him from an Essex working-class council estate to the dizzying heights of the Tate Gallery. This irreverent odyssey sees him navigate identity, creativity and self-acceptance via marital breakdowns, career disasters and some life coaching from a six-foot teddy bear named Alan. Combining outrageous humour with emotional honesty, GRAYSON THE MUSICAL features music by Richard Thomas (Jerry Springer: The Opera), book by Sara-Ella Ozbek and lyrics and life story by Grayson Perry himself. This joyous and riotous new musical is about growing up and embracing who you truly are, touching on themes of family, therapy, art and, of course, cross-dressing - you know, all the usual musical comedy tropes. Full casting to be announced. Please note that Grayson Perry will not be performing in this workshop production.

Dame Meera Syal joins us to share the hilarious and heartwarming true stories that have shaped her life and work as one of Britain’s most beloved comedy legends. Growing up in the only Asian family in a West Midlands mining village, Meera Syal wanted to take the stage long before anyone was ready to listen. As one of the creators of Goodness Gracious Me she changed British comedy forever. As the indomitable ‘Granny Ummi’ she terrified the guests visiting The Kumars at Number 42. She’s topped the pop charts, been a Professor at Oxford, and written a musical with Andrew Lloyd Webber. She’s a Dame, a screenwriter, and the first British Asian novelist to enter the national curriculum. Young Meera always had the stories. Now she has the stage. From the wisdom her mother and aunties dispensed her grandfather's attempts to arrange her marriage, her working life as an actress and writer, her journey to motherhood, and the changing attitudes towards women she has experienced over her career, Meera will share all. Funny, painful, and completely honest, this evening will stay with you long after. 14+
