ORIGINAL MUSICAL
Gone Rogue present the debut musical from Olly Lewis and Alec Sleigh. Set during the Memphis Sanitation Worker’s Strike of 1968, the Cooper family each face their own struggles in dealing with extreme poverty and the imminent demise of their dear father. Through the power of music, a story of reunion, retribution and revolution emerges. Take the hidden talent of a boy like ‘Billy Elliot’ and the social struggle of his family, and combine that with the emotional intensity and revelations of ‘Blood Brothers’. This is The Craft of the Cooper.
