⭐ SWAN SONG BY JONATHAN HARVEY – STARRING ANDREW LANCEL – TURBINE THEATRE – LONDON TRANSFER ANNOUNCED ⭐
Swan Song by acclaimed playwright Jonathan Harvey, is transferring to London for one week only, it has been announced.
Transferring to London, from its sell-out premiere at Liverpool Theatre Festival and Northern tour is Swan Song, a bittersweet comedy written by multi award-winning, Jonathan Harvey (Beautiful Thing, Gimme Gimme Gimme, Closer To Heaven). The one-man shows stars acclaimed stage and screen star Andrew Lancel (Coronation Street, The Bill, Cilla The Musical) and is directed by BAFTA award-winning Noreen Kershaw (Call The Midwife, Moving On, Coronation Street).
It is Liverpool 1997, the world is changing and in the staff room, gay forty-something, English teacher Dave Titswell finds that not all change is welcome. He has a crush, but life, love, and work are never straight forward for Dave. Will a school trip to The Lakes change things for the better, or make things decidedly worse? Swan Song will make audiences laugh, but equally pull at the heartstrings.
Swan Song was first staged at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in 1997, before transferring to Hampstead Theatre with award-winning comedy actress Rebecca Front in the lead role. Jonathan Harvey adapted the 70-minute play specially for Andrew Lancel at Liverpool Theatre Festival to play the solo role of Dave Titswell.
The show also performs pre-London dates at The Coro in Ulverston on 19th – 20th November, a perfect venue due to The Lakes playing an important part within the play.
Swan Song will play The Turbine Theatre, running from 29th November – 4th December, with tickets on sale now.
