She went down in history as Joanna the Mad – what if she wasn’t insane, but furious? SIX meets Sondheim in this dark saga inspired by Catherine of Aragon’s older sister. Featuring Locked Away, Stiles & Drewe Best New Song Prize finalist 2024. ‘Funny, heartbreaking and rage-inducing’ **** (AdventuresInTheatreland.com). ‘Mmm, defiance!’ (Elaine Paige, BBC Radio 2). ‘Evokes a classic theatrical sound… lilting melodies which melt into dissonant, menacing lullabies’ (TheatreAndTonic.co.uk).
