Julie Atherton to Lead Interval Productions' ANOTHER WAY World Premiere, 11 Sept. - 5 Oct.

Another Way, a new musical about being on the cusp of greatness, featuring the songs of up-and-coming singer/songwriter Benedict, rearranged specially for the production, will get its world premiere at The Cockpit theatre from Wednesday 11 September - Saturday 5 October.

It's about luck in its different forms, from feeling lucky to being struck by luck, by a chance meeting. It's about hope, it's about getting stronger, and staying up later, for the 'dawn of our glory days'.

The show also features Matthew Collyer, Andy Coxon, Aiden Crawford, Bart Edwards, and Ria Cherrelle Horsford.

Another Way features a book by Sarah Henley and Tori Allen-Martin (Off West End Award nominated Most Promising Playwrights for Streets.
