Kiln Theatre has announced that Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), a new British musical penned by writer duo Jim Barne and Kit Buchan, will complete their current season, running from 9 November-23 December.

Originally titled The Season, the musical won a Stage Debut Best Composer/Lyricist award in 2020 and played to critical acclaim at Royal & Derngate and The New Wolsey Theatre. 

Casting is to be announced.

Dougal is a naive, impossibly upbeat Brit, flying to New York for his Dad’s second wedding. The Dad he’s never known.

Waiting for him at the airport is Robin, the sister of the bride. She’s a native New Yorker, she’s late for work, and she doesn’t have time to stop and see the sights.

Instant attraction? Definitely not.

But with an extravagant wedding approaching and the city at their feet - anything could happen.

Jim Barne and Kit Buchan said today, “We feel so lucky to be given the chance to rework the show and experience it in a new space, in front of a new audience. We’ve loved getting to know the team at the Kiln and can’t wait to see Two Strangers playing under their roof.”

The production will be directed and choreographed by Tim Jackson, with design by Soutra Gilmour, lighting by Jack Knowles, sound by Tony Gayle, musical direction by Sean Green, orchestrations by Lux Pyramid, and casting by Julia Horan CDG.
