Win Once Upon A Time In Wigan tix at the Octagon!
This competition is now closed and the answer is Northern Soul.
Congratulations to Nicola Ryall!
Enjoy the play!
Be Young Be Foolish… BUT BE HAPPY!! A full-on celebration of Wigan Casino and its legendary Northern Soul all-nighters when kids from blue collar lives all across the country could escape 70’s tedium and get Out on the Floor and Dance Dance Dance.
It’s September 1981, the last night of the Casino, and Britain is changing. For Danny, Maxine, Suzanne and Bolton boy Eugene Northern Soul has been their way out – a weekly escape hatch!
THE PLAY:
Specially re-commissioned to help celebrate the end of the Octagon’s 40th Anniversary Season, Once Upon a Time in Wigan – LIVE! re-unites the team that created the full-on and funky Eight Miles High, the smash hits Blonde Bombshells of 1943, and Oh What A Lovely War.
Featuring a live band of brilliant actor musicians pumping out classic Northern Soul tracks in the Octagon Theatre’s signature style, Mick Martin’s high octane script is brought vividly to life in this unmissable tribute to the very heart of Soul – Wigan Casino 1973 -1981! Keep the Faith!
Once Upon A Time In Wigan Live stars Rupert Hill (Jamie, Coronation Street) and Richard Oldham.
We have a pair of tickets up for grabs, courtesy of The Bolton Octagon.
