Alice Diamond and the Forty Elephants
When her gang-leader brother leaves for WW1, Alice Diamond and her all-female crime syndicate seize their chance to take over London and stamp their mark on the streets of the West End. Together with her crew, Alice rules the city as Queen of the criminal underworld. But when the war ends – and the men return home – she isn't ready to give up her newfound status without a fight. Sibling rivalry ensues in this Peaky Blinders-style romp, based on unbelievable real-life events.
The superbly multi-talented (The Scotsman) Young Pleasance return to the Fringe with another large-scale, high-energy, must-see hit in a new script by Emily Brook. Exploring themes of loyalty, family and betrayal, this ensemble piece with all performers aged 16-21 follows the real-life stories of this wild gang.
