No Strapline

The Grand Babylon Hotel

Sat 13 Sep–Sat 4 Oct

New Vic Theatre production in association with Claybody Theatre

By Arnold Bennett
Adapted for the stage by Deborah McAndrew
Directed by Conrad Nelson

Nella Racksole wants steak and beer for her birthday treat, but these are not on the menu of the exclusive Grand Babylon Hotel – so her American Railroad Millionaire father obligingly buys the chef… the kitchen… the entire hotel.

However, The Grand Babylon is not all it seems, and Theodore Racksole soon discovers there’s more than a juicy steak on his plate – with kidnapping and murder for starters!

Have Theodore and Nella bitten off more than they can chew?

The Grand Babylon Hotel is a rollicking comedy thriller, with a virtuoso cast of five bringing you many faces, chases, glamour, intrigue, and a couple of German princes thrown in for good measure.

A riotous evening out!
