Stage adaptation of The Last Five Years heads for Buxton Opera House

The Last Five Years is a hit musical about two New Yorkers who fall in and out of love over that period of time.

Ali James and Olly Gourley play the troubled couple in the production at Buxton Opera House from Tuesday, June 9, to Saturday, June 13.

The emotionally powerful and intimate piece has been praised for its interesting non-linear narrative which is delivered from both lovers’ point of view. Cathy tells her story backwards while Jamie tells his story chronologically; the two characters only meet once, at their wedding in the middle of the show.
