In 1925 in Kentucky, USA, a remarkable true story unfolds that is to become the powerful musical FLOYD COLLINS, which tells the extraordinary tale of the cave explorer of the same name, who dreams of finding fame and fortune deep underground. When disaster strikes and he becomes trapped, it is a race against time for his family and friends as they fight to set him free and keep his morale high through a difficult and dangerous time.
In a touching story of family, friendship and survival, Adam Guettel and Tina Landau’s award-winning musical is brought to life by a hauntingly beautiful score and directed by Jonathan Butterell, all in the atmospheric surroundings of Wilton’s.
