Before the cinematic term Film Noir was coined there was the very noir 'Piccadilly' (1929) a silent with sound drama released after the emergence of the Talkies. Directed by E.A. Dupont, it features the first Chinese American film star in Hollywood, fashion icon Anna May Wong as Shosho.

Set in an eponymous nightclub and restaurant in London's Piccadilly Circus, dishwasher Shosho becomes an instant sensation when she is promoted to lead dancer after a series of unfortunate events. Personal jealousies result in a crime of passion that only the courts can decide.

Booking opens in January 2026.

Dress Code: 1920s
