Southwark Playhouse announces change of dates for new musical YOU ARE HERE

Southwark Playhouse has announced that the UK premiere of new musical You Are Here has been delayed, in order to fit in with the latest government guidance.

Originally scheduled to be performed in The Large for four weeks from 29 April 2021, the show will now open to socially distanced audiences on 17 May, running until 12 June.

July 20, 1969. On the night of the moon landing, Chicago housewife Diana (Wendi Peters) walks out of her comfortable suburban life for no real reason. She sees the astronauts taking that great step and is struck by the realisation that some people lead exciting lives. Suddenly alone in a fast-changing world, she finds a series of unexpected encounters can turn one small step into a giant, life-changing leap.

Neil Bartram and Brian Hill’s You Are Here will be directed by Matthew Rankcom, with musical direction by Laura Bangay, design by Libby Todd, lighting by Jai Morjaria and sound by Charles Parry.

Wendi Peters has been confirmed to play Diana, with further casting to be announced. 

This is a live, in-person performance running for four weeks but there will also be two live-streamed performances on Saturday 22 May at 3pm and 7.30pm.
