Pride in London is set during the miners’ strike of 1984 and follows a young activist, Mark Ashton, as he helps form an unlikely political alliance between London LGBTQ+ activists during the AIDS crisis and the pit communities of South Wales. With the country in turmoil in the middle of these two difficult hardships, both communities are facing great hostility and prejudice. The group begins to raise money for striking miners and finds unlikely friendships.
Based on the hit film Pride, this brand-new musical reunites writer Stephen Beresford and director Matthew Warchus, who return to the story they brought to the screen together. Featuring original music by Christopher Nightingale, Josh Cohen, and DJ Walde, Pride brings to the stage an uplifting story of solidarity.
