On Monday 16th of September I met with a friend Michael who I know from attending film quizzes once a month at The Showroom.
We both expressed interest in seeing this play about Joy Division at The Leadmill.
I have never been to a play at The Leadmill before so I was quite excited to be seeing a play there home to many a drunken night.
The play was fantastic and the acting superb with live music too which has got to be a considerable risk.
The play is written by Brian Gorman and directed by Sean Mason and Giles Bastow.
I bought a flyer and a copy of the comic book signed by the artist/writer himself.
The play provides an historical context behind the band and talks about the psychogeography of Manchester and the conception of the band.
Alan Donohoe as Tony Wilson narrates the story almost like a Granada TV report which if anyone has seen 24 hour party people they will totally understand how that would work.
The play was sensitive to its material but also inviting to the audience who are fans of the band and the mythos of Ian Curtis and his tragic suicide.
I loved the entire night it was a marriage of all the arts from live music, live acting, writing, comic books and visual imaging and lighting.
a truly unique experience.
