Solomon

26th April 2026

Sarah Thorne Theatre

Solomon tells the story of Simeon Solomon, a Queer Jewish Pre-Raphaelite painter, at the Sarah Thorne Theatre in Broadstairs

Starts at 7.30pm

Set in Victorian England, the play charts his artistic rise and sudden fall following a public scandal that derailed his career. Through encounters with figures like Henry Holiday, Edward Burne-Jones and Algernon Charles Swinburne, Solomon reflects on love, faith, and identity in a world that refuses to accept
him. A solo performance exploring creativity, shame, and the cost of being true to yourself.

Solomon is the debut play of Stuart Eggleton and made its premiere at Camden People’s Theatre as part of the Tsitsit Jewish Fringe Festival in 2023. It has since received further development in partnership with The Royal Academy of Art and has toured to venues including JW3, Stanley Arts, Cambridge University and Seven Arts Leeds.
