Pride

A joy-filled new musical based on an incredible true story. 

Summer 1984. The country is in turmoil. With Thatcher battling to dismantle the coal industry and a lethal pandemic on the rise, 24-year-old activist Mark Ashton founds an unlikely new alliance with the pit communities of South Wales: Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners.

Funny, fierce, and filled with joy, what follows is the incredible true story of two disparate communities joining forces—and making history.

This brand-new musical unites director Matthew Warchus with the writer and director of the original hit film, Stephen Beresford. Together they share the inspiring story of these real-life events. 

Featuring an original soundtrack of songs inspired by pop, rock, disco, and the rich Welsh choral tradition, there has never been a better time for this “glorious spectacle” (★★★★★ Financial Times) to remind us of the surprising power of kindness.

Following record-breaking sell-out runs at Cardiff’s Sherman Theatre and London’s National Theatre, this “hilarious and heartbreaking, silly and serious” (★★★★★ Daily Mail) new musical finds a new home at the wonderful Bridge Theatre, which some of you may remember from our trips to see Guys & Dolls a couple of years ago.
