LAST LONDON SHOW: October 1st at the Phoenix Arts Club! Get your ticket now, it’s going to be a great one featuring a Sondheim inspired cabaret afterwards.

A summoning tonight! Five-Star EdFringe hit Summoning Sondheim is a musical comedy séance, in which Grace O’Keefe (Best Newcomer Musical Comedy Awards ’24, owner of Sondheim’s tarot cards) and Jordana Belaiche (West End: Jane in Disney’s Mary Poppins, Little Cosette in Les Misérables) summon Stephen Sondheim to save musical theatre, and therefore, the world. After hit runs at the Edinburgh Fringe, Seven Dials Playhouse, and the Glitch, Summoning Sondheim is returning to London before it heads to 54 Below.

Co-written by Jordana and Grace with original music by Grace (plus an occasional Sondheim parody), and directed and developed by Bel Parker, the show is a vehicle for elevating new womxn voices in musical theatre while venerating Sondheim’s legacy. Each show features special guests and this special night at the Phoenix Arts Club will feature a cabaret following the show of songs written by emerging womxn Musical Theatre writers and Sondheim.

👑 THE QUEEN OF QUEX ROAD 👑 is the @breadandrosestheatre Playwriting Award Winner🏆 from the writer of the 5-STAR EdFringe SELL OUT Bad Teacher!

Kathleen and her pregnant daughter Moira fled Belfast in the early 90s, leaving The Troubles behind for a better life in Kilburn, the beating heart of the London Irish Community and Ireland’s 33rd county.

Now 3 decades later, Niamh’s turning 30 and she’s bringing her mystery boyfriend home to meet the family. They’re praying to God for a good catholic boy from an Irish family however, this isn’t exactly who Niamh has in store for them. With Moira on the brink of an emotional breakdown and Kathleen concealing a secret double life, Niamh’s new boyfriend is in for one explosive afternoon. Hide the whiskey…

The Queen of Quex Road is a razor-sharp dark comedy about family, identity, and the past that refuses to stay buried.

All About @thequeensofcups 👸🏼🏆👸🏻🏆

In honour of 1000 followers, here’s a little reintroduction to the Queens aka @erinstagram__ and @grace_o_keefe ✨

“O’KEEFE AND HOLLAND HAVE A GREAT RAPPORT, THEY ARE FEMALE BUDDIES LIKE FRENCH AND SAUNDERS, OR VICTORIA WOOD AND JULIE WALTERS.”- LONDON PUB THEATRES

The Queens of Cups was founded by Grace O’Keefe and Erin Holland in 2020. Bonded by a passion for creating funny, entertaining, yet challenging work that champions woman voices, they first harnessed their Big Pussy Energy™ with their one woman show, Bad Teacher.

After two five star, sell-out runs at Underbelly for EdFringe, another sold out run at VAULTs, Bad Teacher finished its journey this October at the Pleasance. The Queens have a television pilot adaptation of Bad Teacher that we are currently developing.

The Queens of Cups also curate and host a new writing night, New Moon Monologues, which began in online monthly instalments in 2020 and has evolved into an annual night of comedy, theatre and music with an emphasis on acts that are going to Edinburgh Fringe. They were commissioned by Theatre503 to write a feminist Pantomime. The Queens also perform as a musical comedy duo, with bangers including ‘Girls Don’t Poop’ and ‘Uranus is in Retrograde’ and were awarded “Best Newcomers” at the Musical Comedy Awards 2024.

Grace is currently writing and performing in Summoning Sondheim, a musical comedy seance. Her film and radio credits include BBC Studios and Radio4.

Erin’s play, The Queen of Quex Road, was awarded the Bread & Roses Playwriting Award 2024 and will be produced at the Bread & Roses Theatre in 2025 as an in-house production.
