Details

Adapted from Somerset Maughan's first novel this musical is a portrait of Liza herself and paints a picture of Lambeth life at the turn of the 19th century with Victorian Musical songs both humorous and heart wrenching. Albert Hodge is the father of the street, who spent some time fighting the Zulus and goes on about Gordon Highlanders and how savage they were. Liza hasn't got a father so Albert keeps a watchful eye on her, as she and her mother live in two rooms in his house. Alfred Downes, who lives next door, is from 'the North' and has been living in Lambeth for 23 years, but he still insists that he only came down for the day.
