Guest Event - Canary Wharf: The Rock Opera – film screening plus Q&A

Part of Theatreship's guest nights - where contemporary artists take over the ship to highlight the stories they want to tell.

In this edition, Nicole Skeltys and Bill Garrett present their recent Rock Opera Film:

Here's some more info from them:

From 2020-2023, Australian composer Nicole Skeltys worked with Australian and British musicians and actors to produce a rock opera set in London’s finance industry. The story and characters are fictional, but they are drawn from interviews Skeltys did with finance people and commentators on the industry 2019-2022, as well as other research and media stories about events that have actually happened in the finance world.

Warmly supported and endorsed by Pete Townshend, the father of the rock opera genre, this 50 minute DIY film is a visualisation of her rock opera, which she hopes will spark interest in a live performance of the show at Canary Wharf itself.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A with Skeltys and co-producer Bill Garrett.

If the regular ticket price is beyond what you feel able to afford for whatever reason, please don't hesitate to email us at tickets@theatreship.co.uk and we will send over a ticket at whatever price works for you, no questions asked. This is a sincere policy so do please take us up on it! We dont want anyone to be unable to come to an event at Theatreship for financial reasons so if you like the look of the event but don't like the look of the ticket price, do please get in touch!

We also offer arts supporter tickets, for those that can, to pay a higher price to support the venue, the artists who perform here and subsidised tickets for others.

Due to the historic nature of the ship, we’re sorry to say there is not currently step-free access into the theatre space. We have dedicated staff on hand to help with stairs, and an onsite wheelchair once you’re inside the venue. If you have any access needs, please do e-mail us at access@theatreship.co.uk.
