BLOODY ELLE (2023)
by Lauryn Redding – TravFest23 and Soho Theatre
This loud, proud love story is heart-warmingly honest and belly-achingly funny. Stuffed full of those stomach-flipping-time-stopping moments that everyone will recognise.
Bloody Elle is a gig musical full of searing original music performed live on stage. Building loops and layers of sound, you are transported to a 10,000-seat arena with a ten-piece band or to an intimate sweaty, packed-out gig in the back of a pub.
Managed the successful marketing campaign for Bloody Elle’s London debut at Soho Theatre and it’s return to TravFest23 after a sold-out run at TravFest22.
Finalist for the Offies 2023 and 2024 Awards.
