Calum Finlay‘s new play FANNY is coming to the King’s Head Theatre for a limited run.
‘You’re not stupid for wanting things to change, Fanny – it’s just that we have to play the music that gets handed to us.’
When Fanny intercepts a letter inviting Felix to go back to England and premiere a new orchestral work for the Queen, Fanny decides to hide the letter and take her rightful place at the palace…!
FANNY is a joyful and irreverent comedy celebrating music, family and – at last – the work of a composer overlooked because of her sex.

Meet Fanny Mendelssohn. You’ll probably know her younger brother Felix, from nineteenth-century smash hits like ‘The Wedding March’. Felix was such a musical sensation that Queen Victoria requested a personal concert and even sung her favorite of his compositions: ‘Italien’. The only problem was Felix didn’t write it. The piece of music was Fanny’s, quietly published under her brother’s name.
Tickets are available for performances from 10 October to 15 November 2025.
2 hrs, including interval.
Calum Finlay (Writer), Katie-Ann McDonough (Director), RJG Productions (Producer), Charlie Russell (Fanny & Creative Associate), The Watermill Theatre (Associate Producer), Arabella Neville-Rolfe (PR), Pamela Raith (Photography).
