The stage musical adaptation of hit British film PRIDE has been confirmed for the National Theatre in London.
Based on the uplifting true story of solidarity between LGBTQ+ activists and striking Welsh miners during the 1984 miners’ strike, Pride follows two seemingly disparate communities united during one of Britain’s most turbulent political eras.
Set against the backdrop of Margaret Thatcher’s Conservative government, the story explores themes of identity, resilience, and the power of unlikely alliances.
The musical reunites the acclaimed creative team behind the original 2014 film, which starred Bill Nighy, Imelda Staunton, Dominic West, Paddy Considine, Andrew Scott, George MacKay, Joseph Gilgun and Ben Schnetzer.
Stephen Beresford is adapting his screenplay for the stage, and Matthew Warchus (Matilda The Musical), outgoing artistic director of The Old Vic, is returning as director. The production features original music by Christopher Nightingale, Josh Cohen, and DJ Walde.
