In LA, huh? Remind me a few weeks before.

We beach the beachheads other armies cannot beach

Strummer grave would be turning in his Joe
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Re: London Calling - The Musical Premieres in June
Actually the surviving members of the Clash read the script before they gave us permission to use their songs.
Trust me, I am a huge Clash fan, and the most important thing for me was to make sure it would be true to The Clash.
It's a gritty musical and is nothing like the vapid, generic fluff of American Idiot or Rock of Ages.
It was written by my wife and I. I grew up in the UK, my wife is the daughter of a welsh coal miner.
Part of the Cast are British as well.
So, don't judge something you haven't seen or heard.

Good luck with this, I'm all for spreading the word of the Clash in as many ways as possible.

This is all self financed so far.
My choice was, get my teeth fixed, or get the musical on the stage this spring..
No contest.

I've been trying to find a theatre company in the UK that would like to produce it.
No luck so far.

Best of luck. If there's a way to post some scenes, I am sure we would love to see it.
Got a Rake? Sure!

Try Berkeley Repertory Theatre in Berkeley. The venue also happens to be 3 blocks away from the Berkeley Community Theatre, where The Clash played their 1st American gig.henchman wrote: ↑27 Jan 2017, 1:57amIf we can find a theatre company to do it, I will.BR16ADE_R055E wrote: ↑27 Jan 2017, 1:51amBring it to San Francisco.henchman wrote: ↑26 Jan 2017, 1:46pmActually the surviving members of the Clash read the script before they gave us permission to use their songs.
