STAY AWAKE, JAKE

The award winning new musical by Tim Gilvin, charting the journey of Jake, who drives through the night from London to Carlisle. Over the course of his journey we gradually discover why. The show is a musical in close-up, and tells a story of guilt, of change, of hope, and what it means to be a man in the modern day.

As the winning show of the S&S Award 2014, Stay Awake, Jake was given an abridged performance at the St. James Theatre (with Norman Bowman directed by Simon Grieff), a week’s development hosted by Leicester Curve, and an industry showcase at Leicester Square Theatre with Jamie Muscato and directed by Matt Ryan.



As a result, Heritage Arts invited Stay Awake, Jake to perform as part of the 2016 VAULT Festival. The 5 sold out performances in the PIT garnered outstanding audience feedback, reviews and was awarded the festival’s Origin Award for outstanding original work and nominated for 5 Broadway World UK Awards.
