Deadline experiences<\/a> that \u201cDope Girls\u201d will delve \u201cinto the history of Soho\u2019s criminal underworld.\u201d<\/p>\nSet within the early twentieth century, the six-part sequence is reportedly partly primarily based on \u201cthe true story of conservative, god-fearing 42-year old single mother Kate Meyrick, who builds a nightclub empire and criminal family enterprise and becomes the most dangerous woman in London as well as a competitor to Brilliant Chang, the baron of Soho\u2019s gritty underworld. Her nightclubs are fuelled by drugs and alcohol that allow for a generation of World War I veterans and survivors to forget their trauma and break through the rigid patriarchal structures of the era to allow women to dance, have sex, and do drugs with whoever they want.\u201d<\/p>\n
Written by Polly Stenham (\u201cThe Neon Demon\u201d) and Alex Warren (\u201cEleanor\u201d), the sequence is impressed by Marek Kohn\u2019s non-fiction ebook \u201cDope Girls: The Birth of the British Drug Underground.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDope Girls\u201d doesn\u2019t have a U.S. residence but, however talks with co-production companions and international streaming providers are underway.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
