Caitlin Tipping and Connor Burnett will play Cathy and Jamie respectively in a new production of Jason Robert Brown's musical, The Last Five Years, running at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe at PQA VENUES @Riddle's Court (venue 277) from 8 - 19 August at 14:00. The show, about two New Yorkers in their twenties who fall in and out of love over the course of five years, is renowned for its unconventional structure - Cathy tells her story backwards while Jamie tells his one chronologically. The two characters meet once only, in the middle of the show.
The Last Five Years will be directed by Gerard Bentall, with Musical Direction by Sam Coates and Sound and Light Design by Dickson Cossar.
