SONG FROM FAR AWAY
BBC Radio 4
2024
Song from Far Away is an unforgettable story and a personal letter to those left behind.
One crisp winter day in New York, Willem receives a phone call — it’s time to go home. Home to Amsterdam — to estranged family and forgotten relationships. As he reflects on his life, unwilling to face the future, he finds himself reaching out to the brother he lost.
Starring multi-award-winning singer/songwriter and actor Will Young, this powerful show is his first live theatre role for a decade.
