A Gig for Ghosts

Hanora Kamen and Rori Hawthorn in A Gig For Ghosts.

Oct 18 – Nov 12, 2022
21 Dean St, London W1D 3NE, United Kingdom

In Fran Bushe’s play, the protagonist, Lily, moves to London excited to find a girlfriend. Her zeal turns into disappointment—until she meets Amy, a girl who once worked with the dead. Their romance is filled with ghosts, both symbolically (their former relationships haunt the story) and literally. The show is set to live music by singer-songwriter Becky CJ, and everyone involved with the production is is either a woman or non-binary. —Jensen Davis
