Details

A show for anyone who's ever loved music. Theatre meets gig. FANS is an eclectic mix of stories told through raucous live music, stand-up comedy and verbatim theatre. Based on people's love affair with music, FANS fuses together fan confessions (and some not so true stories) with scripted drama. It looks at the way we interact with music and how it can help us through the best and worst of times. It explores anyone who's ever been a fan and asks why we're so obsessed by bands. What causes you to follow an artist around the globe or get a tattoo of their favourite lyric on your body? What happens when the band you love lets you down or splits up? Featuring recognisable songs and original music and a cast of top local musicians and performers. FANS is full of emotion, humour, energy and musical pulse. Commissioned as part of this year's Bridging the Gap scheme; an initiative designed to aid the creation of new theatre work within the North East region.
