From Bollywood-inspired storytelling and contemporary poetry to comedy and community-led performance, Soho Theatre is bringing together a varied programme of shows that explore identity, culture, creativity and connection.
With productions taking place across August, September and October, audiences have plenty of opportunities to experience distinctive voices and perspectives on the London stage.
Ashes by Convoy
Opening the programme is Ashes by Convoy, a theatrical road trip combining Bollywood, comedy and storytelling.
The production follows Radhika Elizabeth Kapoor, whose unexpected return to Delhi sees her caught up in a world of family secrets, gangsters, betrayal and Gulab Jamon bullets.
As Radhika navigates the chaos around her, she is also forced to confront the two sides of her own identity.
Written and performed by Genevieve Sabherwal, Ashes by Convoy takes place at Soho Upstairs on 17 and 18 August. Get your tickets here.
FUCCBOIS: LIVE IN CONCERT
For audiences after something louder and more irreverent, FUCCBOIS: LIVE IN CONCERT arrives at Soho Downstairs from 2 to 5 September.
Described as a comedy-boyband extravaganza, the show follows the world’s biggest boyband as they prepare to say goodbye to their frosted tips for good.
Created by award-winning writer Bridie Connell and directed by Richard Carroll, the production combines live music, comedy and satire to explore toxic dating culture – with plenty of pop spectacle along the way.
The show has been praised as a “glitzy, camp and hilarious pop extravaganza” by Time Out. Get your tickets here.
Makrooh presents: To Be Continued…
On 12 September, Makrooh will take over Soho Downstairs with To Be Continued…, an event celebrating almost a decade of creativity, community and collaboration.
The event provides an opportunity to reflect on Makrooh’s journey while looking ahead to what comes next, bringing artists and audiences together for an evening of live performance and connection.
