A Press Association release suggests the play will release under a different title to the working one, and the play is ‘suggested’ by the original story. If you would like to read the original story here you go! In brief its about a princess cursed to have no gravity – literally.

A sneak peak of Tori’s work for the play, collaborated with playwright Samuel Adamson and directed by Marianne Elliott, has been previously released on her seasonal album ‘Midwinter Graces’. This featured an edit of the track “Winters Carol” which you can hear via the ever present youtube .

At this stage an exact premiere date or season duration is unknown. Tori is hopeful* the production will proceed onto Broadway after a successful London launch.

Attitude

“Is it going to be staged in London?
Well, yeah the idea is that it’ll go over to Broadway. The British National Theatre develops things that then go onto Broadway. And I think maybe because I’m an American, they thought maybe Broadway will at least kind of know who she is? And not just say: “Oh God what is she trying to do?”

Independent UK Interview

“The National Theatre [with whom she's in talks] has been more open-minded than anyone I could have worked with on Broadway, but everything has to be approved by committee, and I have to tell you that not everyone is aboard my Bösendorfer rocket-ship. They can pull out and this musical may never be staged, but I don’t want to be writing for a fuddy-duddy audience.”
