First look rehearsal images are released for queer, revolutionary musical Fury and Elysium for its run at The Other Palace Studio this summer, immersing audiences in Weimar-era Berlin and the fight for artistic revolution against the backdrop of the rise of fascism.
Fury and Elysium will star Danielle Steers (The Cher Show, UK Tour; Six, West End), Iz Hesketh (Legally Blonde, Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre; Head over Heels, Manchester Hope Mill Theatre), Rosie Yadid (Bad Jews, Arts Theatre), Ashley Goh (The Phase, VAULT Festival; Red Riding Hood, Theatre Royal Stratford East), Maya Kristal Tenenbaum (The Band’s Visit, Donmar Warehouse) and Michal Horowicz (The Band’s Visit, Donmar Warehouse; Amsterdam, Orange Tree Theatre). Charlotte Clitherow (Zorro, Cadogan Hall) also joins the ensemble as swing/standby.
Directed by Rafaella Marcus (SAP, Soho Theatre & UK Tour; Emilia, Vaudeville Theatre) & Karoline Gable (Oslo, National Theatre/West End), this epic new production explores queer culture and the fascinating lives of three very different Jewish women coming from the worlds of expressionist art, political agitation and the drag king scene. Fury and Elysium has a book by Stephanie Martin (Juniper and Jules, Soho Theatre; Passion Fruit, New Diorama Theatre) and music and lyrics by renowned singer-songwriter Calista Kazuko Georget.
