🎉 EXCITING ANNOUNCEMENT!
Our new production THE LAW OF MAYHEM by amazing playwright @tabbytslur will be premiering at The Haymarket @anvil_arts from 18th-20th September 2025 before touring venues in 2026!!
We are so proud to be creating a show about the remarkable true story rooted ...in our hometown of Basingstoke, of trans trailblazers Roberta Cowell and Michael Dillon. Their extraordinary lives became deeply intertwined, and with the help of surgeon Harold Gillies, they left a lasting mark on history, paving the way for generations to follow.
“It’s extraordinary, isn’t it? That we should find each other.”
The year is 1949, and Roberta Cowell; racing driver, RAF pilot and ‘It’ girl, meets Michael Dillon; a ship's doctor who pursued Buddhism into the high Himalayas. Together they will change the course of British transgender history. Yet after just three short years, they never speak again.
Separated by time and space, Michael and Roberta meet for one last impossible encounter, to find out if the thing that brought them together was the same thing that broke them apart - The Law of Mayhem.
