£15 Tickets for Live Soap Drama, Hoxton Street!

Hoxton Hall Theatre have given allocation of £15 tickets for their four-part omnibus live soap drama Hoxton Street! (Where you decide what happens next by voting on the cliffhangers.)

Cast includes Helen Pearson and Linda Marlowe from EastEnders, see below:

Welcome to Hoxton Street, real and imagined. A live soap drama, full of life, laughter, and betrayal!

Josie Maynard owns the street. Her life is built around her family. But now all that is threatened. Not by a new development but by old history and old secrets.

Tony Maynard is back. And no-one is pleased to see him. Where has he been? What does he want? And more importantly what will he do?

Like an old penny, Denton Wilson has also turned up. With a new wife and a new accent. He is a changed man, or is he?

Okhan Batur and Ella Maynard have big dreams beyond the street but is tradition powerful enough to stand in the way of true love?

The £15 tickets are for performances on:

Tue 17th, Wed 18th and Thu 19th May at 7.30pm.

To book please call the Box Office on 020 7684 0060 or the booking link below and use promocode HOXTONFRIEND.
