This is possibly the most ambitious production we’ve ever undertaken in the McGrigor Hall.
You’ll know the film of course - about the titanic battle between Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams culminating at the Paris Olympics in 1924. It’s no coincidence that we’ve decided to stage Mike Bartlett’s adaptation for the stage as we gear up to Paris 2024. The play was last performed professionally at The Hampstead Theatre in 2012 (to coincide with the British Olympics) and it garnered great reviews before transferring to The West End.
It’s a bit of a challenge having to work out how to stage sprint races in the McGrigor Hall but we’re going to give it our best shot! You’ll notice we’ve changed the seating arrangements for this production only.
Expect high energy, a brilliant story about endeavour, the music of Vangelis (of course) and almost certainly a rousing rendition of “Jerusalem”.
