The production will run at the theatre from the 4th September until the 19th October.

It has been announced that the Stage Door Theatre will present the UK premiere of the two-person musical, featuring music and lyrics by Neil Bartram and book by Brian Hill.

The Story of My Life follows the friendship of Alvin and Thomas, two men from a small town. These lifelong friends are reunited after Alvin’s mysterious death.

Alvin searches through the manuscripts and stories in Thomas’ mind to lead him on a journey of remembrance. Through music and song, these two friends recount their adventures, explore their past dissonance and ultimately discover what is at the base of every strong friendship… love.

While casting has yet to be announced, this production of the musical is set to be directed by Robert McWhir, with musical direction by Aaron Clingham and is produced by LAMBCO Productions.

The musical was nominated for four  2009 Drama Desk Awards, including Outstanding Musical.
