Southwark Playhouse announces the UK premiere of You Are Here, starring Wendi Peters. The piece is an intimate, hilarious and heart-breaking tour-de-force musical that will leave you cheering for the resilience of the human spirit. Performed live from The Large from 29 April 2021, either to live in-person socially distanced audiences or via live stream.
You Are Here is written by Neil Bartram and Brian Hill and directed by Matthew Rankcom (Before After).
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.
This is a live, in-person performance running for four weeks, and there is currently one designated live-streamed performance on Friday, 7 May at 7.45pm (captions available).
Southwark Playhouse are selling tickets for live, in-person socially distanced performances of You Are Here in the hope that live performances will be able to go ahead at this point. If government guidance does not allow for live performances to go ahead with social distancing, then all performances of You Are Here will be live-streamed and ticket holders will be contacted with details on how to watch the alternative production online or obtain a refund.
