Nottingham Playhouse have announced that the online version of their hit show Piaf will be available to rent until 31 December 2021.

In a co-production between Nottingham Playhouse and Leeds Playhouse, Adam Penford’s production of Pam Gems’ Piaf tells the extraordinary life story of the sensational, world-renowned singer Edith Piaf, who began her career singing on the streets of Paris.  

The show stars Tony-nominated and Olivier Award-winning actress Jenna Russell (EastEnders, BBC, Sunday in the Park with George) as the eponymous heroine, Sally Ann Triplett (The Last Ship on Broadway, Anything Goes) as Toine - Edith Piaf’s best friend and confidante - and Garry Robson (Reasons to be Cheerful, Graeae, Blanche and Butch, BoP) as Louis Leplee – the nightclub owner who discovered Piaf.

Piaf is directed by Penford, with design by Frankie Bradshaw, lighting by Jack Knowles, sound by Ella Wahlström, and musical direction by Gareth Valentine.

Piaf is available to rent here and viewers will have access to the recording for five days after rental, up to the end of December (if rented after 27 December the days it will be available will reduce accordingly).
