Savage

SAVAGE. A drag extravaganza. A brand-new comedy about the Blonde Bombsite herself, Lily Savage. Inspired by the life of Paul O'Grady and created with his blessing, SAVAGE is a bold and deeply moving new play, making its world premiere in 2027 at Curve Leicester, followed by a UK tour, prior to London’s West End. Before the spotlight, there was a working-class boy from Birkenhead with a sharp tongue, thick skin and something to say. Written by multi-award-winning Jonathan Harvey (Gimme Gimme Gimme, Coronation Street, Beautiful Thing), the show follows Paul’s journey from the streets of Merseyside to the heart of London’s club scene, where, armed with little more than his wits and a wig, he began carving out a place for himself. From humble roots and an unassuming start emerged Lily Savage: the fearless, foul-mouthed alter ego who would defy convention and win the hearts of millions. Starr
