Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
Dashing soldier Anastasius Linck has no intention of falling in love, but a chance encounter with the rebellious Catharina Mlhahn changes everything. As they begin to forge a relationship that breaks boundaries and rejects the rigid rules of their society, they find themselves confronted by a world determined to tear them apart. Ruby Thomas epic and playful modern love story is inspired by eighteenth century court records and the extraordinary true lives of this gender pioneering couple. It follows her two sold-out plays for Hampstead Downstairs: The Animal Kingdom ('pure theatre The Guardian) and Either (marks Ruby Thomas out as a daring and exciting new voice The Arts Desk). Owen Horsley directs at Hampstead for the first time; his credits for the RSC include the recent double bill of Rebellion and Wars of the Roses, as well as Maydays and Salom. Maggie Bain (Man to Man, Wales Millennium Centre; Henry V, Shakespeares Rose Theatre) plays the role of Anastasius Linck with Helena Wilson (Jack Absolute Flies Again, National Theatre; The Lady from the Sea, Donmar) playing the role of Catharina Mlhahn and Lucy Black (The Durrells, ITV; The Haystack, Hampstead Theatre) playing Mother. They are joined by Daniel Abbott, David Carr, Marty Cruickshank, Kammy Darweish, Qasim Mahmood, Leigh Quinn and Timothy Speyer. Linck & Mlhahn has been kindly supported by the Godwin family. We are grateful to the T.S. Eliot Foundation for commissioning Linck & Mlhahn.
