The Old Vic has just announced that it will be premiering a new musical, Just For One Day, in January.
The musical will retell the story of Live Aid, the July 13 1985 benefit concerts which were organised by Bob Geldof and Midge Ure to raise money for the Ethiopian famine that would claim the lives of as many as one million people. The play will transport audiences back to that astonishing day, conjuring up the atmosphere of political unrest and social revolution, and conveying just how momentus it really was, with as many as 1.5 billion people tuning in to support the cause.
