Shannon Matthews The Musical The Movie Film Screening

After an incredible sell-out run as a live stage show at the 2022 Fringe, Kunt and the Gang and Tuppence Ha'Penny bring the story to the big screen!

Foul-mouthed mother from hell Karen Matthews is fed up being a nobody until she hatches a cunning plan for a shot at the big time.

Hen-pecked common-law husband Craig Meehan has a secret interest that nobody knows about.

Borderline special needs uncle Michael Donovan just wants a bit of company and a couple of quid for some baccy.

Stereotypical Yorkshire copper Detective Inspector Radgitt faces a race against time to get to the bottom of this case and find the missing girl, Shannon Matthews, aged 9.

This is Shannon Matthews: The Musical - The Movie! An irreverent, potty-mouthed, black comedy romp through one of the most bizarre news stories of this century, via the warped imagination of Kunt and the Gang, the songwriter behind The Kunts’ recent top 20 hit singles Boris Johnson is a Fucking Cunt, Boris Johnson is STILL a Fucking Cunt and Prince Andrew is a Sweaty Nonce. The production is being brought out from under the bed base by Yorkshire’s own Tuppence Ha’penny Theatre Company.

Shannon Matthews: The Musical - The Movie re-imagines an even larger-than-life, delusionally confident Karen Matthews as she sets off on her quest for fame by masterminding the fake kidnapping of her daughter, aided and abetted by a supporting cast of massively dysfunctional men.

Shannon Matthews: The Musical - The Movie features 11 original songs including Can’t Work, Wont Work, I’ve Got A Plan (Based On Maddie McCann), Different Dads and Shannon Ain’t Dead (She’s Under My Bed).

Not for the easily offended!
