Ladies, gentlemen, and all the legends who have come to realize that gender is a trap, allow me to introduce you to the electrifying world of the Sound of the Underground. Step into the electric night, where the bass line jumps in the backstreet light and the beat goes round and round. The Sound of the Underground is the sound of duct tape, lighting cigarettes, jangling tips, and a whole lot of chaos. This is not your average night at the theater. Legends of the London Queer club scene come out from under the gutter to take over the Royal Court Theatre. Expect punk, profanity, and a fierce fight about workers' rights, written by Travis Alabanza and co-created and directed by Debbie Hannan. Hold for applause. Bring some change. Tip generously. Travis Alabanza's first play for the Royal Court spotlights London's iconic underground club culture and questions what it means to get your money's worth when it comes to art. This edition was published to coincide with the world premiere at London's Royal Court Theatre in January 2023.
