Leeds Grand Theatre is proud to announce that Leeds’ own Kay Mellor will return to The Grand this year, with the world premiere stage production of the multi award-winning ITV series Band of Gold.
Band of Gold is directed by Kay Mellor and produced by Joshua Andrews. It will run from 28 November to 14 December 2019, telling the tale of a group of women working in Bradford’s red light area.
Many of us remember the ITV production in 1995, which attracted 15 million viewers with a cast which included Samantha Morton and Geraldine James. Kay feels it’s time to revive this gritty drama:
“I get asked once a day if I’m going to bring Band of Gold back. My answer will now be yes, on stage at The Grand Theatre! I’m thrilled that it’s going to premiere in my home town.”
General Manager, Ian Sime is also delighted “We are so excited to welcome our good friend Kay Mellor back to The Grand Theatre & Opera House with another hugely successful stage adaptation of one of her many iconic TV classics. Kay knows Leeds and Yorkshire audiences like no other and is one of the great writers of our time; this is going to be pure gold.”
Priority Membership tickets go on sale on Wednesday 16 January. General on sale is Wednesday 23 January.
