Join The People’s Company as they transport audiences to one particularly happening corner of South London’s East Street Market in a new original play.

​

The year is 1952, soon after the death of King George VI on the eve of Queen Elizabeth II’s coronation. The people working and living on East Street have mixed feelings about the monarchy, and they’re letting it be known. When the mysterious horse-racing tipster and miracle worker Ras Prince Monolulu returns to East Street after several years away, their ideas about royalty and identity are challenged by his unique larger-than-life philosophy.

​

Taking inspiration from the real life Prince Monolulu, Once Upon a Market aims to showcase a world where the storyteller is king and magic can be found on every street corner.
