Sub Rosa is the bastard theatrical child of Stephen King and Marie Lloyd. In the depths of winter, when the theatre is empty, a guide takes an audience of only sixteen people on a journey through the secret spaces backstage in this century-old music hall.

Out of the shadows comes a motley crew of chorines, hoofers, sopranos and wig-masters. They tell a haunting, mournful and darkly comic tale of yet another chorus girl burning to death beneath the stage while the show went on above her head. We meet Flora McIvor and witness her meteoric rise to power in a corrupt Victorian music hall. Will there be a bloodthirsty coup or a red velvet revolution? The management are literally getting away with murder...
