World premiere of new musical THE PIANIST to play limited run in Southampton

Wolk Transfer Company has announced the world premiere of the new musical adaptation THE PIANIST, which will play a strictly limited run at the Mayflower Theatre, Southampton from 8-12 September.

The brilliant melodies of The Pianist himself, Wladyslaw Szpilman, underscore and uplift this world-premiere musical adaptation of his acclaimed memoir. Boldly adapted for the stage and directed by Thom Southerland, with music arranged by Simon Lee, the production brings Szpilman’s extraordinary story vividly to life through music.

Performed by an ensemble of 11 actor-musicians portraying more than 50 characters and playing a rich, symphonic array of instruments, Szpilman’s music is heard on stage for the first time outside of Poland. The production transports audiences from the vibrant streets of pre-war Warsaw to the harrowing trials of the war, unfolding a powerful theatrical journey of courage, family, survival, and the enduring strength of music.

Tickets for THE PIANIST go on general sale on Friday (30 Jan) at 10am here.
