A Manchester Anthem

Cloudburst Productions has announced the London run of A Manchester Anthem at Riverside Studios (Studio 3), following its highly successful sell-out seasons at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival 2023 and VAULT Festival 2023. 

Winner of the Pleasance Pick of VAULT Festival Award, ‘Show of the Week’ winner, and Off Fest nominee, Nick Dawkins’ A Manchester Anthem, opens at Riverside Studios on 20 August, with previews from 19 August, and runs until 13 September, following a limited run at Hope Mill Theatre, Manchester, opening 31 July, with previews from 29 July, running until 2 August. Izzy Edwards will direct Tom Claxton who will reprise his role as Tommy in this hit solo show. 

Flashing lights. Sticky floors. Dancing shoes. Tommy, a young working-class Mancunian, has been accepted into Oxford. He's the first in his family to go to uni – the first on his street in fact... Join him on his last big night in Manchester before leaving the city he loves and disappearing South. Expect humour, heart and a night out to remember.

Nick Dawkins said, "I’m thrilled to be bringing this story to life with such a talented team of wonderful people. A Manchester Anthem hopes to encapsulate the intense excitement that comes with deciding to leave your hometown, as well as the fear that comes with that decision about how it will change and shape who you are. It’s a look at growing up and the family, friends and favourite songs we use to define ourselves. It’s funny, it’s heartfelt, and, I think, really has something in it for everyone. I can’t wait for audiences to join Tommy on this unforgettable night out". 

Expect humour, heart and a night out to remember.
