THE BOOK OF NORTHERN: The entire history of the North West told in under an hour.
With each scene presented as a new chapter in a book, this show covers the entire chronological history of the north west. Charting back from the Normans to the Industrial revolution, to the cultural revolution, to first World War, and to our love of drinking. The show is presented through music, mime sketches, and silliness.
Join them on this journey to finally reveal the definitive ‘Book of Northern’.
‘It was fresh, funny, and one of the best shows I had seen at the 2016 Greater Manchester Fringe Festival.’
Quay News July, 2016
‘The mime/dance routines work surprisingly well as a technique adding a fresh and unexpected twist to the show.’
Manchester Theatre Review, July 2016
