This is the first ever London staging of Madeleine Dring’s (1923 – 1977) only opera, ‘Cupboard Love’. Written in the early 50s, this work wasn’t performed until a read through in 1983 and it remained unpublished until 2017. A comedy murder ‘whodunit’, it features three characters – the Wife, the Boyfriend and the Husband. This year marks 100 years since Dring’s birth and therefore it seems the perfect time to ‘premiere’ this work especially given that she was a Londoner herself.
