Police Cops: The Musical will stage a limited run of public work-in-progress workshop presentations at Battersea Arts Centre, following its 2024 debut at the Edinburgh Fringe and two runs at Southwark Playhouse.
Police Cops: The Musical… All singing, all dancing, all guns blazing. USA, 1980. In an era of tight jeans, fast cars and uncompromising facial hair, a pair of mismatched police cops are on the case to bring down the baddest cat in America!
Police Cops are a three man comedy company with multiple sell-out years at the Edinburgh Fringe with their first three shows Police Cops, Police Cops in Space and Badass Be Thy Name. They aim to create highly playful performances which combine inventive physical storytelling with their own brand of off-the-wall comedy. Imaginative concepts, exhilarating texts and musical flare, Police Cops create vibrant pieces of theatre that leave a lasting impression on their audiences.
Creators Zachary Hunt, Nathan Parkinson and Tom Roe return with Catarina de Luca, Emma Salvo and Sara Bartos.
The workshop presentation, which includes eight new songs, has an original score by Ben Adams (Eugenius) and will be directed by Sean Foley (Dr Strangelove, The Ladykillers), with Rich Morris (The Cher Show, Heathers) as musical supervisor, orchestrator and arranger.
Police Cops: The Musical is produced by ROYO with Glass Half Full Productions and James Seabright.
The workshop runs from September 25 to October 3, 2026.
Tickets here.
