Ballad Lines @ Southwark Playhouse Elephant, London (until 21 March 2026)

For fans of Hadestown, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button and Once discover Ballad Lines, the soaring new folk musical Londons talking about. Ballad Lines is a heart-opening musical about the stories we inherit and the choices each generation makes to break, reshape, or carry them forward. A forgotten melody pulls Sarah, a queer woman in New York, into the lives of the women who came before her: Cait, her 17th-century Scottish ancestor, and Jean, a spirited Irish teenager a century later. Across three centuries, they face the same defining question: what does it mean to become a mother and at what cost? Blending Scottish, Irish and Appalachian ballads with a bold contemporary score, Ballad Lines weaves one familys hopes, sacrifices and songs across generations. From award-winning songwriter Finn Anderson (Islander (Southwark Playhouse Borough, Off Broadway), Streets) and acclaimed director Tania Azevedo (Mayflies, But Im a Cheerleader), this is a musical for anyone who has ever wondered where they come from and what they choose to pass on. Co-produced with Wolk Transfer Company and TRW Production. An earlier version of Ballad Lines (previously A Mothers Song) was first produced at Macrobert Arts Centre in 2023 by KT Producing and Macrobert Arts Centre.
