The UK premiere of a new Irish fantasy musical, For The Lack of Laura is a tale of magic and romance set to an original Celtic and musical theatre classics-inspired soundtrack.
Laura, a young Irish heroine with her eyes on the stars, makes an immortality bargain with an evil sorceress which grants her the power to travel through time and space to find her true love.
Faced with a host of fine suitors across cultures and time periods, she travels through Spain, Russia, The Malverns, Paris and New Orleans and discovers this magic may really be a curse.
For The Lack of Laura combines folk tales and magic with the music of composer Kurt Rosenberg, featuring a 16-piece orchestra and 12-person cast performing a soundtrack of 26 original songs.
