According to press materials, Mack and Mabel is set in the "early days of motion pictures and follows the tumultuous, real-life romantic relationship between movie director Mack Sennett and Mabel Normand, who became one of the biggest screen stars in the world. Told in a series of flashbacks, Sennett relates the glory days of the Keystone Studios from 1911, when he discovered Normand and cast her in dozens of his early 'two-reelers,' through his creation of Sennett's Bathing Beauties and the Keystone Cops to Mabel's death from TB in 1930."

Mack and Mabel is designed by Jason Denvir, with choreography by Lee Proud, musical direction by Michael Bradley, lighting by Howard Hudson and sound design by Andrew Johnson. To book tickets, contact the box office on 020 7407 0234, or visit www.southwarkplayhouse.co.uk.
