Love Sucks
Wheatsheaf Hall
An alternative Valentine's cabaret comprising unconventional love songs from the worlds of pop music, musical theatre and original writing. Come, grab a drink from the Geoids-run bar, and have our 16-strong cast share the less slushy side of this Hallmark holiday with tongue in cheek love songs taken from the worlds of pop music and musical theatre.
Performances took place at Wheatsheaf Hall, off South Lambeth Road, Vauxhall on Friday 8 and Saturday 9 February 2019.
