John Caird (Les Miserables) directs an all-new play written by James Phillips, detailing the life of popular fashion designer, Alexander McQueen. Part-fiction, part-biopic, McQueen delves deep into the visionary imagination and dark dreamland of one of fashion’s greatest contemporary artists. Opening for a limited time at London’s St James Theatre, McQueen is the fairy-tale landscape of McQueen’s iconic genius.
Set on a singular London night, McQueen tells the story of a mysterious young girl who has been watching the designer’s house from a tree nearby, eventually plucking up the courage to break in and steal a dress in the hope of becoming someone special. Instead of calling the police, McQueen takes a chance and lets her stay. Soon, the pair embark on a magical adventure where they discover that between them, they may find the comfort and beauty that they both so desperately crave. A moving, poetic and enchanting play, McQueen invites us all to discover the beauty in the smaller things.
