FIRST LOOK: The Buskers Opera at Park Theatre

Published on

Last night saw the opening night of Dougal Irvine's new musical The Buskers Opera at The Park Theatre.

London 2012. The world is watching. Can the city deliver the greatest Olympics ever? Pulling the strings is a media mogul, broadcaster and puppet master, Jeremiah Peachum. Together with his star of the show, Lockitt, the Mayor of London, they are perfectly placed to capitalise on Team GB's gold and drive their political agenda across the finish line. Enter satirical street busker Macheath and his gang of dissenters ‘The Ninety Nine Percenters’…

We hope that you enjoy these great production images by Simon Annand.
