This funny and deeply moving two-character chamber musical charts a universal love story through the physical paper artifacts that define a relationship and a lifetime—from letters, menus and train tickets to shopping lists and postcards.
Producers Sonia Friedman Productions, Jerry Goehring and Pemberley Productions are pleased to announce that following its sold-out run in Scotland, the critically acclaimed musical A History of Paper, starring Tony, Emmy, BAFTA and Olivier Award winner Alan Cumming, and Olivier and BAFTA Award winner Shirley Henderson in her highly anticipated NYC debut, will make its US premiere this winter.
