The show sold out its initial run – we’re betting it’ll repeat the trick this time around…
Tim Gilvin and Alex Kanefksy’s new musical about the historic 1936 clash in London’s East End runs at Southwark Playhouse Borough until 16 March
Quite remarkably the play manages to be both utterly serious about the events of the 4th October 1936 and still include comments of dark humour and comic satire.
To say Cable Street has been highly anticipated would be a gross understatement: it’s basically unheard of for a new, Off West End musical to completely sell out its run before a single review has been published. Nevertheless, this little show that could is absolutely deserving of its success, and seems to be destined for great things.
Picks for Jan. 18-21 includes the annual Beer and Cheese Fest; a winter reception at Overture Galleries.
