Velvet-Club Connecting Lesbians & Bi-women around the World
For fans of Hadestown, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Once discover Ballad Lines, the soaring new folk musical Londons talking about. Ballad Lines is a heart-opening musical about the stories we inherit and the choices each generation makes to break, reshape, or carry them forward. A forgotten melody pulls Sarah, a queer woman in New York, into the lives of the women who came before her: Cait, her 17th-century Scottish ancestor, and Jean, a spirited Irish teenager a century later. Across three centuries, they face the same defining question: what does it mean to become a mother and at what cost? Blending Scottish, Irish and Appalachian ballads with a bold contemporary score, Ballad Lines weaves one familys hopes, sacrifices and songs across generations. From award-winning songwriter Finn Anderson (Islander (Southwark Playhouse Borough, Off Broadway), Streets) and acclaimed director Tania Azevedo (Mayflies, But Im a Cheerleader), this is a musical for anyone who has ever wondered where they come from and what they choose to pass on. Co-produced with Wolk Transfer Company and TRW Production. An earlier version of Ballad Lines (previously A Mothers Song) was first produced at Macrobert Arts Centre in 2023 by KT Producing and Macrobert Arts Centre.
