SIRENS

About the show

One night. One cellar. No secrets left to hide. 1942. Beneath an East London pub, Charles, a guarded landlord, risks everything in a secret liaison with Dwight, a young American GI. But desire and loyalty can no longer remain hidden. As enemy bombers darken the skies above, a motley collection of friends, family and strangers rush below for shelter. Trapped together, tensions flare and allegiances shift – yet amid the claustrophobia and chaos, unexpected connections begin to flicker into life. Sirens is a witty, intimate and deeply human new play by Leeds Playhouse’s Artistic Director, Tom Wright – a warm, tense story of ordinary people thrown together in extraordinary circumstances. A Leeds Playhouse production produced in association with the Belgrade Theatre.
