Joan: A Musical

Joan: A Musical

A rare first look at a brand new dynamic one-woman original musical celebrating the life and legacy of Joan Littlewood, the maverick theatre director who revolutionised British theatre and was the former Artistic Director at Stratford East from 1953 – 1974. 

Through a vibrant blend of original songs, storytelling, and humour, JOAN: A MUSICAL brings to life Littlewood’s radical vision, fierce wit, and lasting impact on the stage. Playful, and full of heart, this intimate musical tribute captures the spirit of a true theatrical trailblazer.  

This 'rough theatre' presentation has been commissioned as part of our 140th anniversary celebrations. 

Please note this event will be filmed. 

Presented by Stratford East. Supported by the National Heritage Lottery Fund.
