Riveting from beginning to end… or should that be from end to beginning?
Written and composed by JASON ROBERT BROWN
A hit both off-Broadway and internationally, The Last Five Years came to Wales for the very first time in 2018. This ground-breaking production, directed by Angharad Lee, combined an emotionally powerful score with sign language and beautiful movement by award-winning choreographer Mark Smith, who is Deaf. This intimate musical charting New Yorkers Cathy and Jamie’s passionate five-year relationship is an affecting tale of love found and lost. By turns funny and poignant, with catchy tunes and a clever chronological twist, The Last Five Years keeps you riveted from beginning to end… or should that be from end to beginning?
Every performance of The Last Five Years was accessible to D/deaf, deafened and hard of hearing audience members, with closed captioning and integrated sign language to be enjoyed by all.
