Brassed Off

Brassed Off
Directed by Vanessa Jensen
Band Directed by Blake Segler
Presented by Melville Theatre

Grimley Colliery is set to close as the accountants say there’s more money in it shut than open, even after redundancy payments. It means 1200 job losses, a dying town and the loss of its brass band. But under the leadership of Danny, coughing with coal-dusted lungs, the band is somehow transformed into British champions with local lass Gloria whipping up the money needed to get them to the Albert Hall.

Beautifully adapted for the stage from the 1996 film of the same name, Brassed Off is a heart-warming drama filled with humour, heartbreak, hope, and of course music!

Challenge Brass Band, under the direction of Blake Segler, are collaborating with MTC to bring this story to life with live music.

Brassed Off contains adult themes – strong language, the implication that intimacy has occurred, and themes of suicide and death.
