Pride The Musical description
Summer, 1984. With miners on strike across the country, 24-year-old activist Mark Ashton tries to rally a disparate group of gay men and lesbians into supporting the beleaguered miners. Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM) quickly finds itself entwined with a small pit village in South Wales.
What follows is the remarkable true story of two threatened communities joining forces – and discovering they have more in common than they ever imagined.
Funny, fierce and full of heart, Pride unites the director and writer of the original film, Matthew Warchus and Stephen Beresford, with composers Christopher Nightingale, Josh Cohen and DJ Walde.
Together they share the inspiring story of these real-life events, set to an original score with songs inspired by protest anthems, pop, rock, disco and the Welsh choral tradition.
For assisted performances, please book directly through the National Theatre.
