This is not your parent’s opera. Inspired by the Greek myth this critically acclaimed new production takes you stumbling down alleys for an early morning walk of shame.

Effie isn’t exactly the type of girl you’d go out of your way to smile at on the street. You’d probably be more likely to cross the street if you saw her staggering down the road, pissed, before noon. You might think you know her, but you might not even know half of it.

Her life is an absolute mess. Drinks, drugs and drama every evening, and though it hardly seems possible, every morning her hangover is worse than the day before, which was definitely the worst hangover even. The cycle repeats seemingly without end until one evening gives her the opportunity to be something more.

Award-winning Welsh playwright Gary Owen penned this critically acclaimed l monodrama inspired by the Greek myth. Artistic Director of Lyric Hammersmith Rachel O’Riordan directs Sophie Melville, who has returned to her role as ‘Effie’ following her win for The Stage Award for Acting Excellence and her nomination for the Evening Standard Award for Best Actress.
