City Stories

<i>What happens when someone tells you that you're the answer to the riddle of life?<br/> What happens when a stranger in Starbucks gives you something that will change your world forever?<br/> What happens if the world starts to fall asleep hour by hour?</i><br/><br/> <i>City Stories</i> is a new type of cabaret drama a sequence of interwoven love stories and a love-letter to London. Composed up of five discrete yet interwoven stories each taking the form of a monologue or duologue and performed with specifically composed songs <i>City Stories</i> looks at a variety of experiences of love and loss via a range of people living in the UK's capital.<br/> <br/>Elegantly written and beautifully constructed these pieces look at the varieties of love and how it might save us showing James Phillips's writing at his very best. <br/> <br/> <i>City Stories</i> received its world premiere at St James's Theatre London in 2013 and has since gone on to establish a year-long residency at the theatre.
