Exciting shows at OSO Arts Centre this autumn

This November, a revival of The Revlon Girl and a new Charles Dickens show will be on stage at OSO Arts Centre.

The Revlon Girl by Neil Anthony Docking

Directed by OSO Artistic Director Lydia Sax, this revival is created by the team behind the recent successful sold-out production of Once Upon a Bridge, including producer Charlie Robertson, set and costume designer Hannah Danson and lighting and sound designer Jonny Danciger.

The design aims to subtly evoke the shape of the coal spill itself, using a bespoke backdrop, and contrasting evocative lighting and sound, to highlight the extent to which the tragedy has and will forever define the lives of those who survived with the loss of their young children.

Show details:

• Dates: Wednesday 6 to Sunday 10 November 2024
• Times: 7.30pm (6 to 9 November) and 3.30pm (9 to 10 November)
• Location: OSO Arts Centre, Barnes, SW13 0LF

What the Dickens

This new show by award-winning Richmond based playwright/singer Clare Norburn and BAFTA-nominated director Nicholas Renton exposes the private life of Charles Dickens. The drama is soundtracked live by colourful Victorian popular songs, street music and carols performed by a multi-talented cast of seven who sing, dance and play instruments, sometimes all at the same time.

The show aims to empower and give a voice to the women in Dickens' life who were denied an opportunity to give their side of the story at the time. The show may be set in the Victorian past, but like all of Clare Norburn’s work, it speaks for today, for women, and in this show, for victims of celebrities.

Show details:

• Dates: Tuesday 26 to Saturday 30 November 2024
• Times: 7.30pm
• Location: OSO Arts Centre, Barnes, SW13 0LF
