About this show
After seven years, a Melbourne share house welcomes the unexpected return of old friends, flames and foes, reuniting for one final song. As past and present collide, buried tensions resurface and the ties that once bound them begin to unravel. Featuring a live original folk score performed by actor-musicians, this new Australian musical explores memory, art and what it means to create. Paperfolk Theatre presents the UK debut of Our Seventh String, following its sold-out Melbourne run. Praise for previous work: ‘Vibrant and entertaining’ (BroadwayBaby.com), ‘Humour, heart, and unmistakable intelligence’ (CorrBlimey.uk).

You don’t expect to discover something genuinely special because a stranger on a train recommended it. Yet that’s exactly how I found myself in Venue 45 at theSpace watching Paperfolk Theatre’s UK debut of Our Seventh…
The cast are talented, energetic performers and their gorgeous vocal harmonies are a particular treat.
