A Song Cycle For Soho is playing all this week at the Soho Theatre, featuring brand new songs by some of the cream of UK musical theatre writing talent, including David McAlmont, Richard Thomas, Douglas Hodge, Christopher Hamilton, Stuart Matthew Price, Dougal Irvine, Susannah Pearse, Tim Sutton, Alexander S Bermange and Stiles & Drewe. The show has a book written by Andrew Brinded and is directed by Simon Greiff with musical direction by Tony Award winner Sarah Travis.
Its four-hander cast is: Claire Moore, Niamh Perry, James Gillan & Michael Cantwell. There 's a BWW interview with Claire Moore about it - it looks as if it's going to be a really good night. I'm going to see it on Saturday night. Anyone else going?

All the best performers bring to their role something more, something different than what the author put on paper. That's what makes theatre live. That's why it persists.
