About Sirocco<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Set in Italy in the 1920s, Lucy Griffin is staying at a seaside hotel with her husband, Stephen, and her domineering mother-in-law, surrounded by the local \u2018English Colony\u2019 of elderly spinsters and a painfully hearty clergyman.

When Stephen leaves to go on a business trip, Lucy finds herself irresistibly drawn to Sirio Marson, a charismatic young Italian who represents everything that her respectable marriage lacks.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lucy astonishes everyone, including herself, when she runs away with Sirio to his artist\u2019s studio in Florence. However, here she finds that the romantic Bohemian fantasy is very different from reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sirocco<\/em> has long been misjudged after one of the most disastrous opening nights in theatrical history; this genuine rediscovery brings newly unearthed, previously unperformed material to the stage as it explores sexual freedom, marriage, and social convention \u2014 and the consequences for a woman who dares to challenge them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Finborough Theatre has long been known for its unique rediscoveries of unfairly neglected plays, and it is now breaking new ground with its first entirely in-house production in ten years. This production reunites the team behind this year\u2019s critically acclaimed production of\u00a0The Old Ladies\u00a0<\/em>\u2013\u00a0Brigid Larmour<\/strong>\u00a0(adaptor and director of the sell-out West End and Royal Shakespeare Company hit,\u00a0The Merchant Of Venice 1936<\/em>) directs, with Set Design by The Stage<\/em>\u00a0Debut Awards Best Designer nominee\u00a0Juliette Demoulin<\/strong>, and\u00a0<\/strong>Costume Design by the multi-award-nominated\u00a0Carla Joy Evans<\/strong>, alongside award-winning producer\u00a0Andrew Maunder<\/strong>\u00a0(The Silver Cord, The Truth About Blayds<\/em>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
