1978. Nick & Steve see The Clash for the first time, in Victoria Park. It’s as if they take an oath to stay true to the values embodied in that day…
2002. Strummer’s death forces Nick and Steve to re-evaluate their lives.
Charting the lads attempts to maintain their ‘oath’ to Strummer while living through Thatcherism, paying the bills and maintaining relationships, this passionate punk comedy is about attitude, friendship and celebrity – and a celebration of the man who set the agenda for a generation.
“a magnificently simple, heartfelt, clear and brave show”
The Scotsman
Manchester Clash covers band Cheapskates will be playing a set after the show. Why not see the play and have a pogo?
