24 Feb Secret Theatre Grand Finale Weekend
The Lyric Hammersmith is staging all seven of its Secret Theatre productions this weekend in a spectacular 48-hour grand finale
A provocative and radical project, Secret Theatre was conceived to take place while the Lyric was undergoing substantial refurbishment. Using all its nooks and crannies, the audience was invited to a secret theatre at the heart of a building site. The project was a massive hit, taking the Edinburgh Festival by storm and winning The Stage Award for Acting Excellence. The celebration of this project will include the company’s final production Show 7: A Stab in the Dark, a classic British farce set in Afghanistan.
Catch them all this weekend, as they are performed for the last time. There will also be a range of free events, discussions and masterclasses tailored around the performances.
