The previously announced production of Falling Stars at the Union Theatre, starring Peter Polycarpou and Sally Ann Triplett, will be streamed online this winter.

With November performances being cancelled, the live event has been rescheduled to 9 & 10 January 2021. However, the company has also created a filmed adaptation so audiences can experience the 1920’s revelry from the comfort of their own homes.

Directed by Michael Strassen, Falling Stars is the charming story of a lost songbook; hidden away in an antique shop on the East Finchley High Road, its discovery unlocks the beautiful refrains of a bygone era.

The song cycle, also conceived and written by Polycarpou, is a homage to 1920s music and will serenade audiences with the sounds of Charlie Chaplin, Irving Berlin, Buddy De-Silva, Ray Henderson, Vincent Youmans, Carl Schraubstader, Arthur Freed, and Meredith Wilson.

Thomas Hopkins of Ginger Quiff Media said: “We’re incredibly grateful to stream.theatre for stepping in to support us and facilitate our production. Once again this gives us hope in this crazy world that we are living in, that our theatrical community will come together to support each other through different mediums such as streaming, as the show must go on!”

Falling Stars will be available to watch digitally from Sunday 22 - Sunday 29 November 2020.
