The Forty Elephants
About the Show
A new musical currently in development.
This electrifying musical is inspired by the real-life all-woman crime-ring: THE FORTY ELEPHANTS. Their story is scarcely told,their antics hardly known, and yet these women dominated much ofthe crime-scene in Victorian London and beyond.
Now they are brought to life in this irreverent,raunchy and unapologetic musical. With an edgy pop score, and a rag-tag family at its heart,this is a musicalthat celebrates women’s rights... but even more so, women’s wrongs.
Music by Einar Adalsteinsson. Book and Lyrics by Sophie Boyce.
