SON OF A PREACHER MAN

The kids used to dance the night away in this swinging Soho joint but now all that remains of the Preacher Man are memories and myths. That’s until three random strangers are drawn to the venue with nothing in common other than the need for help in their hopeless love lives. Michelle Gayle, Alice Barlow, Nigel Richards and Michael Howe star in this brand-new story directed and musically staged by Craig Revel Horwood. Son Of A Preacher Man features hits by Dusty Springfield, is written by Warner Brown and will have you singing your heart out.
