The Law of Mayhem

Proteus presents
Tue 27 Apr 2027 and Wed 28 Apr 2027

“It’s extraordinary, isn’t it? That we should find each other.” 

The year is 1949, and Roberta Cowell; racing driver, RAF pilot and ‘It’ girl, meets Michael Dillon; a ship's doctor who pursued Buddhism into the high Himalayas. Together they will change the course of British transgender history. Yet after just three short years, they never speak again. 

Separated by time and space, Michael and Roberta meet for one last impossible encounter, to find out if the thing that brought them together was the same thing that broke them apart - The Law of Mayhem. 

Joyful, uplifting and full of heart, Award-winning Basingstoke theatre company Proteus, and acclaimed writer Tabby Lamb bring the extraordinary lives of trans-trailblazers Michel Dillon and Roberta Cowell to the stage for the first time. 

Using circus as a physical vocabulary, The Law Of Mayhem tells the story of two lives, inextricably entwined, that made their mark in history and forged a path for generations to come.
