It’s 1994 and the tight-knit mining community of Grimley, Yorkshire, are fighting to keep their colliery open. Meanwhile, revered band leader, Danny, battles to keep his dispirited band of brass playing miners together with the dream of qualifying for the National Championships at London’s Albert Hall.

When the uncertainty around the pit becomes too much for the band members, loyalty is tested, pressure mounts and the community begins to break apart. With their whole way of life at stake, can the band find a way to play on?

Based on the smash-hit film, Brassed Off, this production will feature live music from local brass bands, Wingates Brass Band and Eagley Band delivering a soul-stirring theatrical experience.
