The Verge of Forever is an exciting new song cycle that seamlessly blends the sophistication of classical music with the energy and spontaneity of pop and jazz. At its core, the show follows the love story of Leo and Marie, two talented teenagers who share a passion for the theatre. As they embark on their journey through the challenging world of drama school auditions, they face numerous obstacles that test their love for each other and their dedication to their dreams.

The Verge of Forever is a timeless tale of love, ambition, and sacrifice, showcasing the struggles that come with pursuing one's artistic passions. As Leo and Marie strive for success and work tirelessly to hone their craft, they are forced to confront difficult choices that threaten to tear them apart. Despite the odds, they persevere, displaying unwavering commitment to their art.

With Olly Novello, Conor Dye and Tony-winning producer Louise Beard (Company 2019) at the helm and legendary West Ender Gerry Tebbutt leading the way as director, The Verge of Forever promises to be an unforgettable experience that combines stunning visuals, soaring music, and powerful storytelling. Don't miss your chance to witness this incredible new show!

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Show me the charities

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.
