Flat Rock Playhouse to Stage THE LAST FIVE YEARS, 5/29-6/22
by Tyler Peterson - May 19, 2014


Flat Rock Playhouse presents The Last Five Years, from May 29 - June 22 at the Playhouse Downtown. This beautiful, modern musical explores the five-year relationship between two young New Yorkers, Jamie, a rising novelist, and Cathy, a struggling actress. What makes this story unusual is its simultaneous, yet vastly different depiction from end to end. Jamie is telling the audience the story from the beginning while Kathy shares her story from the end. It is probably the only love story where the two central characters only lock eyes once… in the middle of their story… during their wedding. The rest of the time the audience is a party to their lives, witnessing the ups and downs of their relationship.
