Theatrical adaptation of The Twenty Seven Club to hit the stage
Exciting news! We now have the dates confirmed for the performances of The Twenty Seven Club at Live Theatre! And I’ll say this - it’s quite something knowing that your first novel is being adapted for the stage!
The stage play has been written by my other half, the brilliantly talented actor Chris Connel, and it will be his first ever stage play. He will also be directing the piece.
The Twenty Seven Club will be performed as part of Live Theatre’s Elevator Festival - an annual programme of activities to showcase new writers. It has been made possible thanks to funding from Live Theatre’s Bursary scheme and Arts Council England.
See full details below as well as booking links. If you’re not based in the North East fear not - we’ll also be releasing a filmed version of the play soon after.

THE TWENTY SEVEN CLUB

WRITTEN AND DIRECTED BY CHRIS CONNEL
BASED ON THE BOOK BY LUCY NICHOL
I’m young, I should be enjoying myself. Instead I’m spending every minute thinking I’m about to die when everyone else is necking Pot Noodles and cheesy Wotsits and cracking on about what a good night it was.
It’s 1994. Emma’s just heard about the death of Kurt Cobain and her anxious mind becomes obsessed with one question – why do so many rock stars die aged 27?
As Emma tries in vain to control her panic attacks, she discovers that perhaps there’s something much bigger from her past that needs to be addressed…
Suitable for ages 15+
Trigger warnings: Contains strong language, references to drug taking and depictions of panic and anxiety.
Venue: Main Theatre
