The Edinburgh Fringe hit No Love Songs will transfer to London's Southwark Playhouse Elephant this summer.
The new musical, which had an acclaimed Fringe run in 2023, centers on the emotional experience of being a new parent and the weight of postnatal depression. The production will play the London venue June 4–15.
The musical is the brainchild of the lead singer of Mercury Prize-nominated Scottish indie band The View, Kyle Falconer, and his partner Laura Wilde, with additional writing by Johnny McKnight. Reimagined live on stage, No Love Songs features hits from Falconer’s 2021 solo album, No Love Songs for Laura, including "Stress Ball" and "Mother."
Said Falconer and Wilde, “We always aimed to get No Love Songs to a wider audience, but knowing that it’s officially going to showcase in London is such an incredible feeling! We have had a lot of people messaging us from the area asking when it would be coming closer to them, so we are honestly so pleased and can’t wait to get the audience feedback—we just know you’re going to love it!”
The London production will be co-directed by Dundee Rep Artistic Director Andrew Panton and Associate Director Tashi Gore.
