Northern Fanfare: Brighton '84

Book

Brighton '84 is part of Northern Fanfare, a festival of original writing celebrating the extraordinary creativity of West Yorkshire voices curated by our Associate Artist Philip Stokes.

Brighton ’84 
Presented by 412, Lawrence Batley Theatre and Richard Jordan Productions 
Written and Directed by Philip Stokes
Starring Jack Stokes and Lee Bainbridge 

From the creative team behind the five-star, multi-award winning Shellshocked comes a thrilling new drama.

Brighton 1984. The Grand Hotel. A Bomb has been planted. Thatcher is working. Guests are sleeping. 53 minutes until detonation. Two strangers enter Room 102. What happens next will change history, especially for Barry and Johnny.  

Following hugely successful, sold-out Off-Broadway, Adelaide Fringe and Edinburgh Fringe seasons, Brighton ‘84 is the explosive new play by Leeds-born playwright Philip Stokes, recognised by the British Library as a culturally important playwright of the 21st Century.
