What is The Glee Club about?
Flashback to summertime in 1962, The Glee Club tells the story of five Doncaster miners who form The Edlington Miners’ Glee Club. They’re preparing for their local gala, but they aren’t prepared for the music sensation they’re about to become. The heavy drinking men love to reflect on the good old days but don’t realise that they’re about to come to an end as the times are ever-changing.
The Glee Club creative team
The Glee Club is produced by Kiln Theatre and Out of Joint. The production is directed by Out of Joint’s artistic director Kate Wasserberg. There is design by Mark Bailey, musical direction and sound design by Dyfan Jones, lighting design by Katy Morison, with Gavin Joseph as assistant director and Sita Thomas as associate director.
