Brixton Calling
Description
Inspired by Simon Parkes' memoir Live at the Brixton Academy, Alex Urwin's award-winning gig-theatre show charts how a derelict cinema bought for £1 became one of the world's most famous music venues. Bronagh Lagan directs a bigger new staging driven by friendship, ambition and songs associated with artists from The Clash and Bob Marley to Blondie and The Prodigy.
