The Glee Club

Duchess Theatre

Opened 17 April 2002, closing 1 June 2002

Written by Richard Cameron

Directed by Mike Bradwell

Designed by Bruce Macadie.  Lighting by Rick Fisher

Cast:  David Bamber, James Hornsby, Oliver Jackson, Shaun Prendergast,

David Schofield and Roderick Smith

The Glee Club, made up of five hard working, hard drinking miners and a church organist, is preparing for

the local gala. Though they’re established on the working men’s club circuit, they aren’t exactly at the

vanguard of the musical revolution.  Sometimes compassion and understanding, as well as bigotry and

cowardice, can come from the most unlikely places.

This is the summer of 1962 – music and much else is about to change – so too the lives of these six men.

Nothing and no-one will ever be the same again.
