Modern Plays Choir

Bol

Choir is a heart-warming funny play, with music and community at its heart. Morgan runs a community choir who meet weekly in a room above the local pub to sing great pop songs, chat and drink.There’s Paul, a former West End performer who now does local radio voiceovers; Esther and Joy, best friends who can’t stand each other; Anna, whose seemingly perfect life hides a secret; Ken, good egg and perennial loser; and Sheila, dark horse and pathological liar.The choir are busy rehearsing a concert to raise money for young Freddie to go to music college. And when a TV producer invites them to perform on national television, Morgan seizes her opportunity to hit the big time.But – are her eccentric group up to it? And what is Morgan prepared to sacrifice to get the acclaim she so desires? Home truths are revealed and secrets laid bare in this feelgood comedy with music, which explores loneliness and connection while celebrating the joy and power of community art.This edition of Choir was published to coincide with the production at Chichester Festival Theatre in August 2025.
