Will Young will be returning to the stage in Manchester next February in a new production of Song From Far Away by Olivier Award winner Simon Stephens and Mark Eitzel.

The emotional homecoming is directed by Manchester based Kirk Jameson and will run from February 22 to March 11 at HOME in the city.

One winter day in New York, Willem receives a phone call—it’s time to go home to estranged family and forgotten relationships.

Song From Far Away is a personal letter to those left behind and is Young’s first live theatre role for a decade.

Written by Stephens (The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night–Time) and Eitzel, it premièred at the Young Vic in 2015.
