Will Young will return to the stage in Manchester next February in a major new production of Simon Stephens and Mark Eitzel‘s powerful one-man show, Song From Far Away, his first live theatre role for a decade, which will run at HOME from 22 February to 11 March 2023.
One crisp winter day in New York, Willem receives a phone call – it’s time to go home.
Home to Amsterdam – to estranged family and forgotten relationships. As he reflects on his life, unwilling to face the future, he finds himself reaching out to the brother he has lost.
“It was then that I decided to write you these letters.”
Song From Far Away is an unforgettable story and a personal letter to those left behind.
Written by Simon Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night–Time) and Mark Eitzel, this emotional homecoming is directed by the acclaimed Manchester based Kirk Jameson and co–produced by Thomas Hopkins, Guy Chapman and HOME.
