Soul takes to the Royal stage from Friday May 20 to Saturday June 11, with a cast including Adjoa Andoh from BBC’s Casualty and EastEnders actress Petra Letang.

On April Fool’s Day 1984, hours before his 45th birthday, Marvin Gaye was shot dead by his father in the shared family home they called the ‘Big House’. What happened there has been shrouded in mystery since.
