Showmanism Tickets - London
Following the 2023 triumph of Re-Member Me, Dickie Beau now returns to London at the Hampstead Theatre with the critically acclaimed Showmanism for a strictly limited season.
Having premiered in 2022 at Theatre Royal Bath, Showmanism is a kaleidoscopic journey through the history of theatre as seen through the forensic lens of Dickie Beau’s unique lip-sync and celebrated mix-tape medium.
Spend an evening in the company of legends of stage and screen - Peter Sellars, Ian McKellen, Fiona Shaw, and many more - as you've never seen, or heard, them before. Dickie channels a wide and compelling collection of voices that traces a path through the many permutations of the world of performance, from nightclub drag queens to Greek Thetare, from puppetry to politics.
Showmanism is an audiovisual love letter to performance that speaks to us about the world, about art, and, above all, about being human.
Dickie Beau was recently seen as Oscar Wilde in Blanche McIntyre's celebrated production of Tom Stoppard's The Invention of Love, and Sandro Botticelli in Jordan Tannahill's Botticelli in the Fire.
