Lichfield Garrick Rep Company and The Lichfield Players in association with the Amington Brass Band
Main Auditorium
Showing from Tuesday 13 Apr 2010
Following their sell-out production of Fur Coat and no Knickers last season, the Garrick Rep Company and Lichfield Players are delighted to join forces with the Amington Brass Band who were 2008 Brass Band National Finalists.
Brassed Off is the stage play of the multi-award-winning film of the same name which follows the heart-tugging fortunes of a colliery brass band.
It's 1994, and the lifeblood of Grimley's community is threatened when the pit looks set for closure signifying the loss of 1200 jobs and the end for the colliery's long-standing and close-knit brass band. Conductor lung-damaged Danny is determined the band gain national recognition and with the arrival of flugelhorn-playing Gloria it seems his goals aren't quite so far-fetched. But as loyalties are questioned and political and personal pressures erupt, can the band ever reach the National Championships and realise Danny's dreams of hearing Grimley play at the Albert Hall?
With live performances from the award-winning Amington Brass Band.
