Audiences can now get their hands on tickets for a stage show celebrating the region’s rich industrial heritage, brought to life by a wealth of local talent.
Twenty Seven Productions’ “Steel and Iron” will be hitting the Riverside between 11 July and 17 July this year, and tickets are available from tickets.mfc.co.uk.
To mark the announcement, a music video has been released for one of the show’s songs, titled ‘Industry’. It was written by the show’s composer, top-ten charting Middlesbrough singer-songwriter Alistair Griffin, and Cattle and Cane, AKA brother and sister duo Joe and Helen Hammill. Paul Smith from Maximo Park has also contributed to the show.
Based on a concept by Middlesbrough-born producer Katie Gibson and written by John Hoggarth, “Steel and Iron” follows a motley crew of people all from different backgrounds but united by Middlesbrough, and asks: “What happens to a place that is defined by its heritage and industry, when those are taken away from it?”
