1992. The miners are on strike, the colliery is about to close and Danny's hopes of winning the national brass band competition at the Albert Hall seem like a distant dream. But the arrival of flugelhorn-playing Gloria brings romance, hope and controversy to a Yorkshire brass band on the brink of collapse.

Based on a true story and the 1996 film, Brassed Off is a comedy drama that celebrates the power of music and the capacity of the human spirit to inspire a community to triumph against all the odds.

Featuring rousing live music including Jerusalem, Danny Boy, Land of Hope and Glory and Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez, played by local brass bands who will join the cast live on stage for every performance.
