Southwark Stayhouse

Southwark Stayhouse is a brand new online streaming service from Southwark Playhouse where the theatre be sharing shows and exclusive video content until its doors are able to open again on Newington Causeway. All shows are free, so you can watch them whenever you want.

First up is Wasted, a new rock musical about the Brontë siblings in 2018. It’s directed by Adam Lenson with music by Christopher Ash and book and lyrics by Carl Miller. 
Also on the list is the riotously fun take on Twelfth Night, set at a music festival (Ilyria, obv) which was staged in 2019, directed by Anna Girvan as part of our Shakespeare for Schools programme. Also in the mix is Bound by Jesse Briton which premiered in the theatre's former old Vault space at London Bridge and went on to be nominated for an Evening Standard Award for Most Promising Playwright. 
Alongside these three full-length shows Southwark Playhouse will be releasing more content fortnightly plus any projects their pals are doing like Philip Ridley’s The Beast Will Rise monologues – from the world premiere of The Beast of Blue Yonder which was due to open at the beginning of April.
Happy watching!
