COMPANY THEATRE PRESENTS 'BRASSED OFF' A PLAY BY PAUL ALLEN, ADAPTED FROM THE SCREENPLAY BY MARK HERMAN

IN ASSOCIATION WITH NORTH SHORE BRASS BAND
7-21 AUGUST 2010
 
For Danny it is music that embodies the spirit of the mining community in which he lives/ But as the closure of th e mine looms large on the horizon, not all the members of the Grimley Colliery Brass Band can share his passion. However, attitudes change with the arrival of the gorgeous Gloria and a new wave of enthusiasm sweeps through the band. Gloria's former classmate Andy is particularly smitten as the band embarks on the battle for the National Championships. Conflicts soon begin to surface between friends, family, colleagues and lovers. Yet a defiant spirit is re-awoken in the band, leading them on a triumphant journey.
