STAR CAST REVEALED FOR BAND OF GOLD PREMIERE AT LEEDS GRAND THEATRE
LAURIE BRETT, GAYNOR FAYE, KIERON RICHARDSON, SHAYNE WARD AND SACHA PARKINSON TO STAR IN KAY MELLORS PREMIER STAGE ADAPTATION OF BAND OF GOLD
Band of Gold – the premiere stage adaptation of Kay Mellor’s multi award-winning ITV series – today announces that Laurie Brett (EastEnders,Waterloo Road, Les Miserables), Gaynor Faye (Emmerdale, Playing the Field, Calendar Girls), Kieron Richardson (Hollyoaks, Heatbeat), Shayne Ward (Coronation Street, Rock Of Ages, X Factor winner) and Sacha Parkinson (Mr Selfridge, The Mill) will star in the production when it opens at Leeds Grand Theatre later this year.
Following the unprecedented sell-out success of Fat Friends The Musical, producer Josh Andrews and Kay Mellor have teamed up again for Band of Gold, to be directed by Mellor, which will run from Thursday 28 November to Saturday 14 December 2019 at The Grand, before embarking on the 2020 Tour.
Band of Gold was the ground-breaking crime drama that captivated over 15 million viewers each week when it aired on ITV in March 1995 starring (amongst others) Geraldine James, Cathy Tyson, Barbara Dickson and Samantha Morton. The nail-biting thriller tells the story of a group of women – Carol, Rose, Anita and Gina – as they battle to survive whilst working in a notorious red-light district. When one of their colleagues is murdered, they need to find the killer before they strike again.
Band of Gold is at Leeds Grand Theatre from Thursday 28 November to Saturday 14 December 2019.
