Will Young will star in Song From Far Away during a strictly limited run at Hampstead Theatre.
Marking Young’s first live theatre role for a decade, the play was staged at HOME Manchester earlier this year and is now heading to London.
Song From Far Away is described as an unforgettable story and a personal letter to those left behind. One crisp winter day in New York, Willem receives a phone call – it’s time to go home. Home to Amsterdam – to estranged family and forgotten relationships. As he reflects on his life, unwilling to face the future, he finds himself reaching out to the brother he lost.
Written by Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time) and Mark Eitzel, Song From Far Away is directed by Kirk Jameson and designed by Ingrid Hu with sound by Julian Starr. The composer, musical supervisor and arranger is Paul Schofield and the dialect coach is Penny Dwyer. It is coproduced by Thomas Hopkins, Guy Chapman and HOME.
Song From Far Away is at Hampstead Theatre from June 28-July 22.
