What if Liberace walked into a play about Liberace? That's the problem. Because when you're writing about the greatest showman of them all, what happens when the man himself turns up to check your work? Simon Russell Beale and Fra Fee go head-to-head in a gloriously bonkers, fabulously funny new play about Liberace: the rhinestones, the ego, the glamour, the scandal, the piano… and the man behind it all. He was flamboyant. He was outrageous. And he knew exactly how to put on a show. And, frankly, he still does. But somewhere behind the sequins, the furs and the forty rings was someone who spent a lifetime deciding exactly how much of himself the world was allowed to see. Come meet Liberace.

Abigail is a homebody; Alice is preparing to leave the earth forever on a one-way mission to deep space. When the sisters rediscover the joy of being in each other's orbit, the concept of a goodbye becomes much harder than either of them anticipated. But the countdown has already started...
