1966. Hope. Innocence. Action. Rage.
Inspired by the legendary Beatles album released in 1966, REVOLVER weaves together the lives of three women across generations in a shattering story of love, obsession and violence.
In 2026, a TV researcher has her dream job; in 1966, a teenage Beatles fan writes to John Lennon; and in New York, Valerie Solanas tries to get her script produced by Andy Warhol.
Told in Woof’s compelling, rich and wryly funny voice, REVOLVER brings to vivid life a time of revolutionary change and protest. As The Beatles tour to America for the first time, John Lennon declares the band is as popular as Jesus, and everything shifts from liberated swing to drug-induced chaos, as people’s minds expand with pacifism and radical feminism….
Following an explosive run at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe, Emily Woof returns to Soho with a limited run of her hit one-woman show REVOLVER. Co-produced with Shared Experience in its 50th Anniversary year. Hamish McColl directs.
Emily Woof is an author, actor and theatre-maker. Her recently released new novel Ecstatic, an electrifying novel set in a near-future London is currently in hardback edition.
Shared Experience produces work characterised by thrillingly distinctive performance styles with a focus on female-led work which celebrates both physical and text-based theatre. Since 1976, we have continually worked to excite and inspire people with the unique delights of live performance and unpredictability of the stage.
