A PLAY ABOUT JOY DIVISION AND MANCHESTER
Written by Brian Gorman
Directed by Brian Gorman & Lauren Greenwood,
Produced by Nigel Carr & Tony Davidson.
New Dawn Fades – A Play About Joy Division and Manchester tells the story of four ordinary lads who, inspired by the punk revolution of 1970s Manchester, came together to form one of the most influential bands of all time, Joy Division.
Following the untimely death of lead singer lan Curtis, the band went on to huge world-wide success as New Order.
Written by the award-winning Brian Gorman, New Dawn Fades is a spellbinding journey of love, passion, grief, and of course music, drawing inspiration from the enigmatic lyrics of lan Curtis, with a soundtrack featuring iconic hits of the late 1970s UK music scene, including of course Joy Division.
“THE PLAY IS A BEAUTIFUL CRAFTED AND EMOTIONAL HOMAGE TO A HUGELY INFLUENTIAL AND TALENTED BAND.” Tony Clarke (Louder Than War) The Punk Site
