Win Free Tickets to Quadrophenia!

Win Free Tickets to Quadrophenia!

Date: 20 May 2009

THIS COMPETITION HAS ENDED
The Winners are Stewart Sanderson,
Jodie Oliver and John Fairley.

THE SHOW:


Pete Townshend’s legendary rock opera Quadrophenia is brought to the stage for the first time and appears at the Festival Theatre, Edinburgh from Tuesday 26 to Saturday 30 May as part of a UK tour. Set in London and Brighton at the height of the Mod era, Quadrophenia is told through the eyes of Jimmy, a hedonistic style conscious teenager searching for a place to belong and a girl to love. Misunderstood by his parents and stuck in a dead end job, he sets off on a trip to Brighton that will change his life forever.

The compelling coming of age story is brought to life in this original stage adaptation of the legendary album. The evocative world of sixties Britain provides a colourful backdrop to Jimmy’s journey. Pete Townshend’s score captures the excitement of a nation on the brink of change. Quadrophenia documents a culturally significant moment in Britain, the influences of which are still seen today in music and fashion. The story takes a snapshot of one of the most interesting and energising times for pop culture in Britain.

We have three pairs of tickets to the 7.30pm performance on Tuesday 26 May 2009 at Edinburgh’s Festival Theatre to give away.
