A new musical from the producers of The Sapphires and The Sunshine Club

 

Against a backdrop of curfews, and the fear of arrest, white and black manage to form their own club where they can forget their worries and experience rare happy times, and with a little luck... romance.

Forty years on, as the club faces demolition, our characters meet once again to stage a musical reunion and protest in an attempt to save their old stomping ground.

Dark secrets and ghosts that have lingered for more than half a century are revealed, and we discover that reconciliation is more than saying sorry.

“…a highly evocative musical tale of love, jealousy, friendship and family. It is a beautiful, heartfelt production about love and loss.”
