Life In Theatre Bring Last Five Years to Liverpool, 24 July

Following recent success with David Mamet’s Life in the Theatre, local theatre company Life in Theatre are bringing  Tony award-winning composer Jason Robert Brown‘s The Last Five Years to Liverpool. Starring local actors’s Helen Carter and Stephen Fletcher, the show plays for a limited run later this month.

The show is a multi award-winning, heartbreaking and hilarious one-act musical about a New York couple who fall in and out of love over the course of five years together. Cathy is a vivacious, struggling actress- Jamie a hotshot up-and-coming novelist.  In this clever way of storytelling, Cathy’s story begins at the end of their relationship, and Jamie’s starts at the beginning.

Starring Helen Carter (Once Upon a Time at The Adelphi, The Gatekeeper) and Stephen Fletcher (A Life In The Theatre, Eric’s, and A Streetcar Named Desire), this poignant and emotionally powerful production is produced by Life In Theatre Productions, who brought Mamet’s critically-acclaimed A Life in the Theatre to The Actor’s Studio in March this year, starring Andrew Schofield.

The Last Five Years is at the Actor’s Studio Theatre from 24 July – 3 August.
