Casting has been announced for the world premiere of We Started To Sing at Arcola Theatre

“I wish there could be a day where families came together and just said it all to each other. Because then everyone would know it all, and there’d be nothing left to hurt anyone.”

Sussex. London. Wiltshire. Northamptonshire. Wales. Over three decades, a family spreads across the country, and the chord they once made together starts to fray. How will the distance growing between them change the music of their lives?

Barney Norris returns to the Arcola with a brand-new play – We Started To Sing is a love song to the people who raised him, and a hymn to the bravery of our brief lives.

Completing the creative team are designer Frankie Bradshaw, lighting designer Bethany Gupwell and sound designer Jamie Lu with production manager Josephine Tremelling.
