GOYA Theatre Company brings FOUR FELONS AND A FUNERAL to Birmingham Hippodrome

Award-winning creators of contemporary Queer musical theatre GOYA Theatre Company bring their hit show, Four Felons and a Funeral, to Birmingham Hippodrome from 26-28 September.

The show is a raucous, road-trip rom-com, starring four emerging, LGBTQIA+ music theatre actors and is a must see for the venue’s Patrick Studio audiences this autumn.

Ever thought of stealing someone’s ashes? Neither had Millie. Now she’s barrelling down the M6 in a Fiat Punto with three accomplices, forty five packets of crisps and a large decorative urn. Four Felons and a Funeral follows four dysfunctional friends as they navigate grief, love and the law on a road trip to scatter their mate’s ashes. En route, they go through the five essential stages of grief: screaming, shouting, fighting, fainting and fleeing from justice.

Written by Sam Woof, with music and lyrics by Woof and Math Roberts, Four Felons and a Funeral is a feel-good caper with a sharp musical score and a fiercely comic script. Both funny and acerbic and nostalgic and melancholy, this is an uplifting show that blends musical theatre with pop and jazz to create a distinct and accessible new sound.

Also directed by Sam Woof, with design by Sonya Smullen, the cast features Robyn Sinclair (she/her) as Millie, Conor Dumbrell (he/him) as Simon, Gareth Moriarty (they/them) as Wilf, and is completed with Maddy Maguire (she/her) who plays Bex.
