It has been announced that the critically acclaimed Now Or Never is to be streamed for one night only on its anniversary, with all money going to The Suzie Mackie Fellowship; a charity that funds research into Triple Negative breast cancer.

The show, in the form of a digital song cycle, follows seven ordinary people who each do defiant acts of positivity after learning the the world may end in seven days. Originally filmed at the Barn Theatre, the show was filmed live and in one continuous shot, navigating through seven different spaces within the theatre.

The recording will be streamed on 3 April at 8pm for one night only on its one year anniversary. All the money raised from the stream will go to The Suzie Mackie Fellowship, which helps fund a PhD student to do life saving research in Triple Negative breast cancer. The donations will be matched by Dr Tim Crook, the oncologist of Suzie Mackie, who passed away shortly before the release of Now Or Never.

Speaking on the anniversary stream, Matthew Harvey said: “Suzie’s defiant optimism in the face of her diagnosis was one of the things that inspired me to write Now Or Never. She loved music, possibly more than anyone I’ve ever met, so to be able to use my music to support her cause feels, right.” 

The cast of Now Or Never includes Lucy St Louis, Courtney Stapleton ,Eloise Davies, Ahmed Hamad, Irvine Iqbal, Matthew Harvey, Katie Shearman and features a special guest appearance by Olivier Award Winner Janie Dee.
