‘Brassed Off’

with special guests Loxley Silver Band

 

A new play by Paul Allen, adapted from the 1996 screenplay by Mark Herman.

The national Miners’ Strike has been over for ten years but in the coal communities of South Yorkshire tensions still simmer and old wounds are slow to heal.

The miners of Grimley now face the challenge of pit closures and redundancies – but if the pit goes, it looks as though their beloved brass band will go too.

Determined to play through adversity, band master Danny is sure that his mining musicians can get all the way through to the British Championships at the Royal Albert Hall.

And with new flugelhorn player, Gloria, joining the seasoned veterans, it’s a dream that might just come true…

 

This new adaptation for the stage marks 30 years since the release of the film. Our community production features live music from special guests Loxley Silver Band.
