Casting is now set for Stage Door Theatre's U.K. premiere of the 2009 Broadway musical The Story of My Life, which will be presented September 4-October 19 with an official opening September 13.

Robert McWhir, as previously reported, will direct the two-person musical at the Drury Lane pub theatre.

The cast will feature George Renshaw and Markus Sodergren, who both attended Arts Ed Performing Arts School and performed in the recent production of Heathers the Musical.

Featuring a score by Neil Bartram and a book by Brian Hill, The Story of My Life follows two childhood friends from age six to 35. The musical finds best-selling author Thomas Weaver, who has come back to his hometown to deliver the eulogy for his childhood friend, Alvin Kelby, but finds himself scrambling for something to say. His reality is shattered by the memory of Alvin, who takes him deep into Thomas’ mind cluttered with a lifetime of stories.

Aaron Clingham is the musical director, and David Shields is the designer.

The Story of My Life played 19 previews and five regular performances at Broadway's Booth Theatre in February 2009. The cast featured Will Chase and Malcolm Gets under the direction of Richard Maltby, Jr. It was subsequently nominated for four Drama Desk Awards.
