You know there are seven deadly sins and each new victim is another step closer to achieving that mad goal.

The brand new British musical, directed by Luke Sheppard, is based on the true story of Henry Fraser, a man who became a tetraplegic following a diving accident. Indeed, the entire problem for the monkey lay in the very British “carry on, make the most of it, mustn’t grumble” approach.Ed Larkin as Man Henry Fraser, and Jonny Amies as Boy Henry Fraser; with Linzi Hateley as Fran Harvey, and Alasdair Harvey as Andrew Harvey. When one moment changes everything, Henry’s family are split between a past they no longer recognise, and a future they could never foresee. It's a meandering movie that doesn't quite commit to being a prestige character study or a grisly, pulpy serial killer thriller, and so it operates in a middle-ground that achieves little more than prolonged boredom.

Based on the Sunday Times best-selling autobiography by Henry Fraser, The Little Big Things is a new British musical with an explosive theatrical pop soundtrack in a world premiere production.

If Ed Larkin as central character Henry does not quite find the rhythm of his opening and closing speeches, he makes up for it for the most part in his interactions with his earlier self (eager Jonny Amies) and his brothers. Paralysed from the shoulders down in an accident at age just 17, Henry Fraser wrote a best selling autobiography about his experiences. He's playing the role like he's secretly going to revealed as the real killer in a hasty last-second twist. We ask for your permission before anything is loaded, as they may be using cookies and other technologies.

Witness Henry Fraser’s Sunday Times bestselling autobiography, The Little Big Things, come to life in its stage musical debut, and see how one moment can change somebody's life forever. The look of the movie is awash in the cool, moody style of David Fincher's signature look, like Hancock and his technical artists were reviewing Seven and Zodiac and aiming for a fawning homage to a modern master of crime cinema. He's not interesting so much as he's just a neon sign flashing "Guilty," and there are only two ways to go with this, neither exactly fulfilling given what has preceded. Less successful, lead doctor Malinda Parris as Dr Graham is lumbered with an outrageously political lyric which does not really hold up to much scrutiny. There are also some moments that ripped me out of the movie, mostly involving a disconnect between what is intended on the page and what is delivered on the screen.Colin Richmond’s set design is largely empty, with atmospheric waves of colour (video design by Luke Halls and lighting by Howard Hudson). It's like Hancock is using the character's dumb choices to declare how obsessed he is with finding the truth, and yet we didn't witness this obsession earlier when he was making good decisions. Soho Place continues to push boundaries and champion representation and access in many of its production, following an acclaimed first year of plays that included Marvellous, which featured a neurodivergent company of actors as Neil Baldwin; and Shakespeare’s As You Like It, which integrated British Sign Language and surtitles throughout the production. That said, the aisles are often in use (in The Little Big Things they have ramps) so don’t expect to be able to put items alongside.
