Book by Sarah Hammond Music & Lyrics by Adam Gwon Showdown Theatre Arts and the Baltimore School for the Arts present the UK Premiere of "String". After angering Zeus, the Fates, the goddess sisters who spin, measure, and snip the strings of life for every human on Earth, find themselves banished to a modern office building in the mortal world, where they continue their work hidden among the mortals whose destinies they weave into one giant, glorious tapestry. When eldest sister Atropos accidentally loses her pair of scissors in the building, she meets Mickey, the building’s overnight security guard. Soon love gets the better of her, and she finds herself falling for him, stealing his string to keep him immortal and defying all of the rules she has to follow as a goddess. This exception to the rules begins to disrupt the natural order—can the tapestry of the Universe and her sisters stand this flaw? Fall for this original, uplifting, and belty musical about fate, love, and the imperfections that make us human. This production will be performed by Showdown Theatre Arts, UK and The Baltimore School for the Arts, USA as part of a 13 year annual collaboration of young artists and creatives from either side of the Atlantic who come together to produce outstanding work with just one week together in the USA and another in the UK. Previous productions have been on The Brighton Fringe as well as London’s West End and alumni of this programme are performing around the world on huge stages and big screens. We are thrilled to be showcasing this programme at the Electric Theatre, and to be the first ever to produce and perform this musical in the UK. This production is presented by arrangement with Broadway Licensing Global
