The cast taking the all-new rock musical Public – The Musical to this year’s Edinburgh Fringe Festival has been announced.

The story of four strangers locked in a gender-neutral toilet for an hour will be brought to life by a fresh and exciting cast this August. With an electrifying new score of anthems and heartfelt ballads that you can’t get out of your head, this musical explores identity and connection.

The cast includes actor, singer-songwriter, and comedian Annabel Marlow (Six the Musical, Edinburgh Fringe), with Alicia Corrales (Six the Musical, UK tour), Hugo Rolland (professional debut), and Andrew Patrick-Walker (The Rhythmics, Southwark Playhouse).

Finding themselves trapped together in a gender-neutral public toilet with an hour to kill until maintenance arrives, this group navigate the unexpected challenges and difficult conversations that arise when confined together. Winner of the Pleasance’s Charlie Hartill Fund and VAULT Origins Award, this show candidly explores gender identity, toxic masculinity, allyship, mental health and more, all against an original score.

Queer-led theatre collective Stroud and Notes is an original musical company conceived by queer singer-songwriter, Kyla Stroud, winner of London’s Busk In London Competition, and composer, co-writer and co-producer of Public – The Musical. The team also includes co producer, co-writer and theatre-maker Hannah Sands, co-writer and movement director Natalie Stroud, and musical supervisor Olivia Zacharia.
