The Biograph Girl
Part of the Finborough Theatre’s ‘Celebrating British Music Theatre’ series: the first professional UK production since the show’s premiere in 1980.
“Weaving together the heartbreaks and triumphs of the flawed genius director D W Griffith and the first movie stars Lilian Gish and Mary Pickford, THE BIOGRAPH GIRL is a love letter to the stardust and scandals of the silent movie era. The libretto has been especially revised for this production by its original co-writer Warner Brown and includes – for the very first time – the reintroduction of songs cut from the West End premiere production.” – Finborough press release, 2018
