Joined At The Heart, The Musical
Joined at the Heart is a new musical which tells the love story of Victor and Elizabeth. Elizabeth is a young orphan girl, taken in by Victor's parents and cared for as if she were their own daughter. When Victor's mother dies, he studies to become a doctor and vows to end the suffering that death brings. While in pursuit of the answer to the quest for eternal life, the love story between Victor and Elizabeth evolves.
Joined At The Heart is an evocative story of love, morals, relationships and ethics. Written by Graham Brown, Geoff Meads and Frances Anne Bartram, the musical sees its first performance at The Junction in Cambridge from 1st - 4th August 2007. For tickets and further details please contact Frances Brownlie on 01223 832288. It then moves to The Edinburgh Fringe Festival from 12th - 18th August 2007.
Joined At The Heart fought off competition from hundreds of other new musicals to reach the final of the Worldwide Search for Musicals competition.
