COMEDY DRAMA – A community’s defiant act of hope
Directed by Maura Judges
1990s Yorkshire. With the local coal mine at risk of closure and over 1,000 jobs at stake, the mining community of Grimley faces not only losing its livelihood but its identity.
Struggling with his coal-dusted lungs, the leader of the Grimley Colliery Brass Band is determined to keep the community spirit alive. When flugelhorn player Gloria arrives, it seems fate is finally on their side.
Carrying the pride and unity of their home, can the Grimley Colliery Brass Band turn the tables, save their community and reach the National Championships at London’s Royal Albert Hall?Brassed Off explores the impact of economic hardship, and the strength and vulnerability of working-class life. A heartening story of a community standing on the brink, where music becomes a defiant act of hope.
