Otley Little Theatre presents the musical play
Brassed Off
adapted for the stage by Paul Allen

Following the massive success of the Yorkshire-made film featuring Tara Fitzgerald, Ewan McGregor and Pete Postlethwaite, writer Paul Allen has adapted the story of Brassed Off for the stage.

Set in a Yorkshire mining town as threatened pit closures affect the lives of everyone in the community, Brassed Off follows the fortunes of the colliery brass band, portraying the difficulties of both musical and personal survival.

The music of Grimley Colliery Band represents the spirit of the community, but with the threat of redundancy and future unemployment the band members no longer match the unshakable dedication of their leader Danny.

Otley Brass Band (leader: Gordon Eddison) joins Otley Little Theatre in a spectacular staging of this unique theatrical experience directed by Meg Morton - guaranteed to be one you will remember for years! Book early as demand for seats is expected to be very high!

Produced in association with Otley Brass Band
