Throughout his career, Martyn Jacques has written songs about countless aspects of the human condition—love, vice, religion, politics, madness, and desire—but death is probably the theme that has inspired him more than any other. For one special evening at Soho Theatre Walthamstow, The Tiger Lillies will delve into their vast repertoire of songs about mortality, the afterlife, grief, murder, memory, and the strange comedy of our inevitable end.
The programme will feature classic Tiger Lillies songs including Heroin, Gin, and Crack of Doom, alongside new compositions written especially for the occasion.
With their unmistakable blend of dark cabaret, anarchic opera, and black humour, The Tiger Lillies transform the macabre into something both haunting and uplifting. Join Grammy-nominated cult legends Martyn Jacques, Adrian Stout, and Budi Butenop for an unforgettable Day of the Dead celebration where the dead sing, the living listen, and laughter walks hand in hand with tragedy.
