Fans
For anyone who’s ever loved music
Part gig. Part Theatre. Fans interweaves real fan confessions, from UK music fans, with scripted drama written by Nina Berry.
Based on people’s love affair with music, Fans is an eclectic mix of stories told through high-octane live music, verbatim theatre and honest and funny storytelling.
Feat. well-known tunes, original music and a cast of top North East musicians and theatre makers, Fans is a loud, heart-warming tribute to music lovers; full of emotion, humour and musical pulse.
Please get in touch with Project Coordinator Steven to find out more about Fans and future touring options steven@thesixtwenty.com
