"Tickets for Pride the Musical, based on the hit film, have gone on sale. The show will have preview performances in Cardiff before moving to London. Pride the Musical will reunite film director Matthew Warchus and screenwriter Stephen Beresford, to tell the true story that inspired the film. Set in the summer of 1984, it follows queer activists from Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners who helped a small pit village in South Wales where the workforce was on strike."
""When I heard that Matthew and Stephen were adapting their beloved film Pride as a stage musical, I knew instantly that I wanted it to be here. "The Dorfman is an intimate, flexible theatre, renowned for new writing and for challenging expectations. The world premiere of Pride will push the limits of what is possible in this space, both joyful and disrupting. I can't wait for audiences to experience its power.'"
