Octagon Theatre Bolton

Two worlds collide when spirited Italian-American Jennifer Cavilleri and wealthy, privileged Harvard Alumni Oliver Barrett IV fall in love. The pair, whose backgrounds could not be more different, are united by love.

It is a love that endures in the face of adversity, through family opposition to their marriage and devastating personal tragedy. This is their story.

Love Story is inspired by Erich Segal's best-selling novel and subsequent 1970's smash-hit film. It is widely regarded as one of the most romantic and moving films of all time.

This stage version by Stephen Clark features a brand new score by Howard Goodall CBE who has composed an entire body of choral music, music for television and musical theatre. An Emmy, Brit and BAFTA award-winner, Goodall's musical with Melvyn Bragg, The Hired Man, was a huge success with audiences at the Octagon in 2010.

Presented by arrangement with Josef Weinberger Ltd.

Tickets go on sale from 9am on Monday 13th May 2013.
