It’s an autobiographical tale about the dilemmas faced by an almost 30 year-old struggling artist. The show was produced after Larson's sudden death.

Joining him in the London creative team are choreographer Christopher Gattelli — who recently worked on Altar Boyz in New York and The Baker’s Wife at the Paper Mill Playhouse in New Jersey.
