Tokyo Rose

16 September - 30 October (see link for full schedule)

Co-written by Maryhee Yoon, and produced by multi-award winning theatre company, Burnt Lemon Theatre, in association with MAST Mayflower Studios and Birmingham Hippodrome.

An electrifying new musical that follows the true story of Iva Toguri D'Aquino, a Japanese American woman who fought across oceans and time to live freely.

Turn back the dial to 1949.

Iva Toguri stands trial accused of being the notorious ‘Tokyo Rose’, a Japanese wartime disc jockey who broadcast Axis propaganda to the Allied Forces in the Pacific. But was Iva the villain she was made out to be?

Winner of The Edinburgh Untapped Award & the Les Enfants Terribles Stepladder Award, this electrifying new musical tells the true story of how one strong, American-born woman battled through a journey of self acceptance, only to return home to a dangerously divided nation.
