New Vic On Tour

The Grand Babylon Hotel
By Arnold Bennett

Adapted for the stage by Deborah McAndrew
Directed by Conrad Nelson
Music by James Atherton

A Claybody Theatre Production in association with New Vic Theatre

American heiress Nella Racksole wants steak and beer for her birthday treat, but these are not on the menu at the exclusive Grand Babylon – so her wealthy father obligingly buys the entire hotel.

However, Theodore Racksole soon discovers there’s more than a juicy steak on his plate – with kidnapping and murder for starters!
