Dundee Rep Theatre and Vicky Graham Productions present THIS IS A LOVE STORY Music & Lyrics by Jack Godfrey Book & Additional Lyrics by Ellie Coote Commissioned by Vicky Graham

The development of this concert performance is supported by HOME Manchester.

Earth. Humanity. 200,000 years in the making.

A new pop musical telling the 200,000‑year love story between Earth and Humanity. From first sparks to today’s abusive relationship via infidelities of astronomical proportions, can Humanity make up for all the pain they’ve caused Earth? With a high-energy pop score and razor-sharp lyrics, THIS IS A LOVE STORY shines a fresh light on our relationship with the planet.

This unique event marks a significant moment in the creative development of THIS IS A LOVE STORY. Our REP STUDIOS live stream performance, scheduled during COP26 and celebrating Dundee Rep’s new Climate Beacon status, will be the first opportunity for audiences to experience the show in a concert setting - performed by two actors with a live on-stage band and continuous creative captioning. The presentation of this work continues Dundee Rep’s commitment to develop and platform the most exciting and innovative new musical theatre writing.
