The world premiere of the brand-new musical from the critically-acclaimed Cardboard Citizens (Cathy, Bystanders) comes to Coventry this October, in co-production with the Belgrade Theatre and Coventry City of Culture Trust. It’s the 70s and there’s a nationwide housing crisis. John “Mad Dog” Sky is at the helm of the world’s first estate agency for squatters. Lu is hitching from Coventry away from a difficult past towards the bright lights of the city – where punk is just around the corner and anyone can start a band. And Alan & Rosie are plotting to turn their west London neighbourhood into a brand-new nation. The Ruff Tuff Cream Puff Estate Agency is an inspiring new musical based on the true story of how a small group of revolutionaries proved that real change is really possible. Based on an original work by Heathcote Williams, written by Coventry-born Sarah Woods, with music by Chumbawamba’s Boff Whalley, and directed by Cardboard Citizens’ founding Artistic Director, Adrian Jackson – the production will also include a choir of local people with experience of homelessness formed in partnership with the Choir with No Name. Don’t miss out on this year’s must-see musical, part of Coventry UK City of Culture 2021. It’s time to start the revolution!
