About

Step into the dazzling yet dangerous world of THIEVES IN SATIN, the electrifying new production from Moving Stories Dance Company. Inspired by the infamous all-female UK crime syndicate, The Forty Elephants, this breathtaking dance spectacle tells the story of Diamond Alice, The Bobbed Hair Bandit, and Baby-Faced Maggie—women who stole more than riches; they stole the spotlight. Born in the shadows of a Lambeth workhouse, Alice Diamond fought to survive. A master thief by her teens, she rose to power as Queen of the Forty Elephants—a fearless gang of women who lived by their own rules. By the 1920s, they had reached legendary status: draped in satin, dripping in stolen jewels, and dancing the night away with the very aristocrats they deceived.

Now in its third triumphant year, Moving Stories Dance Company captivates audiences with bold, narrative-driven productions. Featuring an ensemble of ballet, contemporary, and West End performers, the company fuses gripping storytelling with powerful choreography.

THIEVES IN SATIN is a thrilling blend of elegance and danger, a celebration of rebellion and resilience. Discover the hidden underworld of 1920s London—where crime was an art, and these women were its masters.
