London is in trouble. Greed, debauchery and excess are dancing like fire through the streets. A young woman is stolen from the arms of her husband on their wedding night and spirited away by the riotous Moll Cutpurse. Doused in gin, Moll will lead the women to devour, seduce and consume until there is nothing left. Can anyone contain them? A lusty tale of 16th century London starring love and revenge, rampant Judges and raucous women, chaos and the darkest of desires.

Synopsis:
Dumbshow in collaboration with The Community Brain and Smoking Apples present to you the story of how clean water came to London. It is August 24th 1854, an oppressively hot summer in the heart of the emerging metropolis. Soho, an island of dirt, where the comings and goings of debauchery and creativity dance a merry dance. The streets are filthy, the air is fetid, but the sun in shining as Sarah Lewis carries her baby home. Little does she know that she is about to wipe out an entire community.
