HANGOVER SQUARE

“Click!
Hello. Here it is again…”

 

London, 1939. George Harvey Bone returns to his boarding house after Christmas, determined that this year he will sort himself out, get back on his feet. Perhaps he’ll finally be able to forget Netta Longdon. Or perhaps he’ll finally be able to get Netta Longdon. If he can just get his head straight… if he can just stop that click…

 

A new musical adapted from the novel by Patrick Hamilton, Hangover Square follows George in his hopeless infatuation with the cold, unobtainable Netta. As he fights against loneliness, alcoholism, and the unflinching march of the world towards war, can anything put a stop to George’s spiral into darkness?

 

Subtitled A Tale of Darkest Earls Court, Hangover Square peers into the murky depths of what it is to be human and at war with oneself, whilst exploring the bars, pubs, hostelries, and characters inhabiting the seedy London underworld at the very moment the world as we knew it changed forever.
