Adored by audiences and acclaimed by critics, the powerful and elegant new play McQueen transfers to London’s Theatre Royal Haymarket this August for a strictly limited run.

As Alexander McQueen labours away on his newest collection, an unknown girl sleeps in his garden, watching. Eventually, the girl breaks into McQueen’s home, convinced that by stealing one of the designer’s incredible creations she too will become something special. McQueen soon discovers the young Dahlia and together they embark on a dreamlike journey through London, finding beauty and searching for comfort.

Innovative, evocative and unforgettable, McQueen is a compelling new play by James Phillips (The Rubenstein Kiss, The White Whale, City Stories), a biopic of a troubled genius told as a fairy tale. Inspired by McQueen’s own designs, this technically adept production delves deep into the life of visionary designer Alexander McQueen, offering fresh insight into the art and life of a fashion icon. Featuring a chorus of dancers and starring Stephen Wight (Bluestone 42) as McQueen and Carly Bawden (My Fair Lady) as Dahlia, this assured production is not to be missed.

Playing for just thirteen weeks at popular West End venue the Theatre Royal Haymarket, book your seats today, tickets are sure to sell out.

    The show exceeded my expectations both in terms of performance and staging. Stephen Wight was superb and the whole production really got inside the head and imagination of Mcqueen. A must see for anyone who was captivated by Savage Beauty at the V and A.

    I went to see the play by recommendation of my friend and took my daughter with me. She is a big fan of McQueen. She enjoyed his exhibition at V&A. We really enjoyed the play. It was beautifully done and moving. If you like his design, fashion or art, you will not be disappointed. The actors and the dancers were excellent. We enjoyed the music too.
