Danny Beard is set to star in a new play by Jonathan Harvey about the life and legacy of Paul O’Grady. 🤩

Savage, which takes its name from O’Grady’s drag alter ego Lily Savage, who Beard will star as and the play will be centred on, is written by Jonathan Harvey and will launch on February 13 2027 as it embarks on a UK tour.

Speaking during the development of Savage, before his death aged 67 in March 2023, O’Grady said of the play: “I’m delighted Jonathan has agreed to write the script, I really am as he’s perfect for this and he’s such a great writer.”

Before his death, O’Grady was involved in the creation of the play, which draws from his autobiographies to tell the story of how he developed the character of Lily.

The story follows O’Grady’s beginnings on Merseyside and on the London club scene, before he became well known across the country.

Harvey said: “I was so thrilled when Paul gave me the opportunity to turn his life story into a stage show.

“It’s so sad he’s not here to see it, but hopefully this will be a fitting testament to everything he achieved, and a cracking night out full of humour and heart.”
