LEAVE TO REMAIN
We’ve long been fans of Bloc
Party frontman Kele Okereke here at Attitude, and this month he adds another string to his bow by working with writer Matt Jones ( Doctor Who, Mr Selfridge) on a new musical, Leave to Remain. Running at the Lyric Hammersmith for four weeks, the production — with 14 original tracks propelling the narrative — follows Obi ( Tyrone Huntley, right) and Alex ( Billy Cullum), a young gay couple whose busy lives are thrown into disarray when Alex’s visa is questioned. Facing an uncertain future, the pair are forced to consider their relationship. The show runs from 18 January until
16 February.
