MARIE LLOYD STOLE MY LIFESCANDAL, STARDOM AND SUFFRAGE – WITH SONGS!
It’s 1886 and 15 year old Marie Lloyd is about to become the “Queen of the Music Hall” but at what cost, and to whom…?
Meet Nelly Power – She’s a big star with a life more dramatic offstage than on and she’s about to lose everything thanks to her terrible taste in men and the machinations of an up and coming new teenage sensation. None other than Marie Lloyd herself!In the true spirit of all comedy based on tragedy, Nelly tells the story of her life and career with amusing anecdotes and a wry sense of humour. This is an hilarious and poignant real-life tale of female empowerment in a patriarchal society, along with ageism, sexism and many other factors that haven’t changed in 150 years. Let us take you back in time to tell, through the eyes of the now-forgotten Nelly Power, the story of how the Queen of the Music Hall came to fame. All together now….

The Last
http://lanterntheatrebrighton.co.uk/event/the-last/The Last
From The Last Man by Mary Shelley
“I am a victim of fate – bound for nowhere, adrift and alone”
Set in a 21st century wracked by deadly plague, Mary Shelley’s 1826 novel The Last Man is poignant and hugely relevant today. Written after the death of her husband and three of her children, it expresses Mary’s own sense of loss and isolation, and features characters based on Mary herself, Percy Shelley, Lord Byron and sisters Fanny Godwin and Claire Claremont.
This one-woman adaptation explores the book’s biographical elements and Shelley’s graphic depiction of a world wracked by pandemic.

I Am Home
http://lanterntheatrebrighton.co.uk/event/i-am-home/I Am Home
Being Human is a given, being humane is a choice.
I am Home is a hard hitting verbatim piece, focusing on the perspectives of those who are living or have lived the homeless experience. From where home was, to what it has become and what it means to be homeless in 2022.
The piece fuses devised imagery and physical theatre with verbatim story- telling.There’s a story behind every person. There’s a reason why they are the way they are. Something in the past created them and unless we address the stigma, sometimes it is impossible to fix.
God On High
http://lanterntheatrebrighton.co.uk/event/god-on-high/God on High
Tulip, a young, free spirited vicar, whose debt-ridden church is on the brink of closure, needs a miracle.
Living in a parish with a rising drug problem, trying to revive her failing love life, dealing with her bankrupt church, her oversexed nan, plus horny parishioners, she now has to acknowledge her grief after the recent, unexpected, death of her mother. With wavering faith, and bombarded with what appear to be signs from God, Tulip needs help. When an unexpected inheritance from her mother is announced, she finds herself asking is God testing her faith or has He found the perfect way to solve all her problems?
God on High is a loosely autobiographical play by Rhoda Dell. Four years ago Rhoda heard a spiritual voice announcing that her mother, who was in good health, was going to die and how. And then she did… on Good Friday!
Since then life has continued to demonstrate to Rhoda that she may not be the sole author of her story. Following this realisation, she has found life a lot more interesting- when you let go of how you think life should look, to endless possibilities appear.
Rhoda holds a Masters in Theology from The University of St Andrews, and trained at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in Acting and Singing.
