The classic story of four lads who, inspired by the punk revolution, came together to form one of the most influential bands of all time.

This new stage version combines the band’s history with the city of Manchester and Salford, taking inspiration from Curtis’ enigmatic lyrics, and involving many real-life characters, such as Johnny Rotten, Tony Wilson and Karl Marx.

New Dawn Fades: A Play About Joy Division & Manchester features versions of Joy Division's most famous tracks, performed live by the actors as part of the performance. Funny, serious, sad, enigmatic and not to be missed.
