The Cellist of Auschwitz Anita Lasker-Wallfisch is nearly a hundred and has forgotten nothing. In “The Commandant’s Shadow,” she meets the descendants of Rudolf Höss.

Anita Lasker-Wallfisch—who turned 100 today—was a cellist in the Auschwitz women’s orchestra, and she played music amid the horror.

🎶 Musical magic comes from Leo Geyer (also on bassoon), Philippa Mo (violin), and
Yuliia Humeniuk (accordion) — a 3-piece band built for the streets.

🎩 And don’t miss Peter Edge as Dulcamara, selling "The Love Effect" with silky vocals
and sneaky swagger.

😏 Enter Jack Holton as Belcore: tall, cocky and dangerously good at turning heads. Uh
oh.

❤ Jonathan Cooke brings a big heart and even bigger charm to Nemorino, the sweet
romantic who's hopelessly in love.

💥 Abigail Kelly is our Adina: modern, magnetic & not buying into love (yet).
Powerhouse vocals incoming.

🎤 Meet the brilliant Elixir of Love cast bringing the streets of South London to life this
summer…

Want to know what we’ve been up to lately?
We’re cooking up a promenade adaptation of The Elixir of Love hitting streets this summer 🎺🎶

community-rooted work with a serious passion for music, stories & connection. 💜

Our mission?
Make theatre truly for everyone. No expensive tickets. No formal dress codes. Just pure,
live performance where you least expect it.

We bring bold re-imaginings of classic stories to the high street. Opera in alleyways. Theatre in supermarkets. Performances in care homes.
