🎺 The pit has closed and the band’s last note has faded away… but the memory of Grimley will never be forgotten.

We could not have imagined this production into reality without The Challenge Brass Band and the incredible collaboration that happened between our two companies. It was a true passion project and we were so fortunate to have you on board for the ride!

Thanks must go to our Front of House volunteers for running the shows so seamlessly and our members and families for the support in making it happen.

We hope everyone who managed to get a ticket enjoyed the show as much as we did. Ta-rah till next time! ❤️🎺

Reviewed by Paul TreasureProducing plays that are based on films comes with its own list of challenges, not least of which is that films are by their very nature cinematic! They have a lot of short scenes set in a large number of very different locations, which can be very difficult to even attempt....
