Cast announced for Fran Bushe’s A Gig for Ghosts at Soho Theatre

Casting has been announced for A Gig for Ghosts by Fran Bushe at at Londo’s Soho Theatre.

The piece, with music by Becky CJ and directed by Ria Parry, will run from 18 October to 12 November 2022.

The show is performed by Hanora Kamen, Rori Hawthorn, and Liz Kitchen.

Combining bold new writing by Fran Bushe (Ad Libido) with original live music by singer-songwriter Becky CJ, A Gig for Ghosts is a gig theatre show that tells a big, warm, folk-music filled, queer love story about loss, loneliness and ghosts.

Freshly arrived in London, Lily is ready to live the life she’s always dreamt of. Step one: find a girlfriend. Worn down by London, Amy finds it hard to make real connections, because she mostly works with people without a pulse.

Today they both have plans to not end up alone. In a busy city where it is too easy for things and people to be lost and forgotten, three women come together to make sure that nobody falls through the cracks.

Jessica Rose McVay, Emily Carewe + Charlie Lees-Massey (45North leadership team) said: “We are thrilled to be able to bring this brilliant, funny, heart-warming show to Soho Theatre. For us, it is the culmination of two years of development, not only on the script, but on who we are as a company.

“The production has a 100% female and non-binary team, and reflects our values of accessibility as we move to make as many performances as possible accessible to all. A Gig for Ghosts reflects how visceral our sense of community, connection and loss can be. We couldn’t be happier to be working with this fantastic team of artists to bring it to life.”
