SOUND CLASH: DEATH IN THE ARENA
'WHEEL AND COME AGAIN'


IN DEVELOPMENT
A co-production between Sound Play Theatre Productions and The Playground Theatre
Based on an original concept by Levi Roots
In this dystopian England, London is no more. Rising from its ashes is Sound City, a brutal new capital where elections are fought and won on the mic. Here, Prime Ministers are Prime MCs, and the streets belong to posse’s and crews, divided by area codes and bound by rhythm. In Sound City, power isn’t taken—it’s battled for in the arena. The people decide their leaders through Sound Clash battles, where the stage is a battleground, and every rhyme could change the nation’s future. Two forces dominate: the Southern Thunders, fierce and relentless, and their sworn rivals, the mighty Northern Eagles. Since the Great Flood drowned the old world, music, culture, and roots have been the only things holding this fragile society together.
On the night of the most crucial Sound Clash yet, something unexpected happens. Ashley of the Southern Thunders locks eyes with Kazzandra of the Northern Eagles. A spark. A pulse. A love that’s dangerous, a beat that no one can control. Rivalries blur, alliances crumble, and their secret threatens to tear Sound City apart. As they’re swept into a storm of deceit, lies, and betrayal, their love becomes more than a risk—it becomes a revolution. The arena is ready. The clash is about to begin. Buckle up, hold tight—this is Sound Clash The Musical: Death in the Arena.
