New British musical Before After is coming to Southwark Playhouse Borough next year.

Written by Stuart Matthew Price and Timothy Knapman, Before After is set to star Grace Mouat (Six The Musical) and Jacob Fowler (Heathers)

News of the production follows a record-breaking live stream of the show from Southwark Playhouse in 2020. Previous productions have been staged in Japan and on tour around the Netherlands.

The show will be directed by Georgie Rankcom (She/They), Artistic Director of the show’s producer, Grey Area, and is a musical love story about a couple given a second shot at happiness.

The creative team also includes: Musical Director: Ben McQuigg (He/Him); Movement Director: Tinovimbanashe Sibanda (She/Her); Set and Costume Designer: Yimei Zhao (She/Her); Lighting Designer: Alex Musgrave (He/Him); Casting Director: Peter Noden (He/Him); and Production Stage Manager: Waverley Moran (She/They).

Georgie Rankcom said in a statement: “Before After has a strong cult following across the globe – our rehearsed reading streamed during lockdown reached 44 countries, causing #BeforeAfterUK to trend on Twitter, and led to calls for a fully staged version to follow. A long running Japanese translation and a successful tour of the Netherlands have given the writers an opportunity to hone the piece over the last few years. We established The Grey Area to support the growth of new musicals, so I can’t wait to bring this show home to the UK in our new production.”

Before After is running at Southwark Playhouse Borough from 7 February to 2 March 2024.
