NEWS: Mona Loser Musical to Return for Public Workshops

It has been announced that the tem behind the critically acclaimed and 8-time Tony Award-nominated production of Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York) will come together to present the latest workshop performances of Mona Loser, a new musical.

Written by Kit Buchan and Jim Barne, directed by Tony-nominee Tim Jackson (Merrily We Roll Along, Two Strangers (Carry A Cake Across New York), The Least Problematic Woman in the World), it will take to the stage from the 2nd to the 5th September.

Following workshops at Southwark Playhouse Borough (The Little auditorium) in 2025 and
Birmingham Hippodrome earlier this year, this next of workshops for Mona Loser will offer
audiences another opportunity to be some of the first to get a glimpse at this new musical-in- development. These workshops marked the beginning of the creation and development process which is supported by Birmingham Hippodrome’s New Musical Theatre Department, a department dedicated to championing original British musical theatre.

Writers Kit Buchan and Jim Barne said: “We’re thrilled to be back at Southwark Playhouse,
south London’s beloved shipyard of new musicals, for our third public workshop of Mona Loser. Each time we do this, the audience teaches us something new, and their insights have already been invaluable. We very much hope you can make it; we can’t wait to see what this next chapter brings.”

It has also been announced that 200 tickets at £15 each will be available via the show’s lottery which is free to enter now at monaloser.com. One winner each night will also receive a “Monster Package” – a VIP prize which includes two complimentary tickets and two drinks. All £25 tickets will go on sale via the Southwark Playhouse website on the 23rd June.
