Ballad Lines

Three generations. Timeless ballads. One unforgettable story.

Opening January 2026 at Southwark Playhouse Elephant and featuring Siân Louise Dowdalls!

From award-winning Finn Anderson (Islander, Streets) and West End director Tania Azevedo (&Juliet, But I’m a Cheerleader), Ballad Lines is a powerful new musical about identity, belonging, and the stories that shape us.

Across centuries — from Scotland to Ireland to New York — three women are bound by blood, song, and choice.

Blending original music with traditional folk ballads, Ballad Lines celebrates love, legacy, and the ties that bind us all.
