The acclaimed Stocksbridge musical 'Here be Dragons' is back due to popular demand this February.
The Steel Valley Beacon Arts (SVBA) have announced the return of the musical which is based on real life events and those living in the time Samuel Fox discovered the steel industry, ending after WW2.Starting in 1842, the musical follows Fox's life and the legacy he left behind. The SVBA have planned three performances and the theme of the dragons signifies the flaming furnace of the steelworks.
The SVBA said about the return of the musical: "Many people have indicated their regret at missing the first run in November and others have said they want to see it again!"
Suggestions for the production were discovered from workshops set up within the community where members began to write songs. A full script and song lyrics were soon completed and the cast of 50 ranges from young to old.
Natalie Davies, 48 who saw the musical during its first run said: "I had no idea what to expect when I saw 'Here be dragons' in November but it was fantastic and I will defiantly be getting my ticket to see it again this month."
'Here be Dragons' will run on the 29th January at Wortley Hall, 3rd February at The Venue and the final performance will will stage at The Hub in Kirkburton on 5th February.
Tickets cost between £5-£9.50, for more information visit the website here.
