Gary Clarke Company - Detention GARY CLARKE COMPANY proudly presents its highly anticipated new dance theatre show, DETENTION, sequel to
the multi award-winning COAL and critically acclaimed WASTELAND.
DETENTION explores the impact of SECTION 28: a piece of largely hidden legislation from Margaret Thatcher's Conservative Government in 1988, which 'prohibited the promotion of homosexuality', forcing people from the LGBT+ community into a place of secrecy, fear and shame at a time when the country was in industrial turmoil and the gay community was being ravaged by the onslaught of AIDS.
Gary Clarke's powerful and personal working-class storytelling draws on public and private stories and testimonies, including a rare insight into the LGBT+ Switchboard Logbooks, combined with vivid choreography performed by a company of exceptional dancers, an evocative narrator, a local cast of LGBT+ people, striking designs in film, sound, light and costume and music tracks by the iconic band TEST DEPT. DETENTION is a bold and moving exploration of the violence, loneliness, protests, debates, unlikely allies and the remarkable individuals and organisations of the time.

New Dawn Fades New Dawn Fades - A Play About Joy Division & Manchester returns with a re-energised and vibrant new production touring the UK this October. The play tells the story of four ordinary lads who, inspired by the punk revolution of 1970s Manchester, came together to form one of the most influential bands of all time, Joy Division. Following the untimely death of lead singer Ian Curtis, the band went on to huge world-wide success as New Order.

For 2025, New Dawn Fades reunites the creative team from last year's triumphant tour, with producers NIGEL CARR and TONY DAVIDSON. It is written by the award-winning BRIAN GORMAN, who received much praise for his portrayal of Factory Records boss Tony Wilson and reprises the role this year. He guides the audience through the heart and soul of both the band and the city, introducing an array of historical figures, including Roman General Julius Agricola, Dr John Dee, Friedrich Engels, Paul Morley, and Pete Shelley of Buzzcocks! The result is a spellbinding journey of love, passion, grief, and of course music, drawing inspiration from the enigmatic lyrics of Ian Curtis, with a soundtrack featuring iconic hits of the late 1970’s UK music scene including of course Joy Division. The play is directed by Brian Gorman and Lauren Greenwood, who reprises her role as Debbie Curtis. Josh Lonsdale reprises his role as Joy Division frontman, Ian Curtis.

A Story of Love, Betrayal, and Redemption

Swan Lake tells the unforgettable tale of two women, Odette and Odile, who resemble each other so closely that they can be mistaken for one another. This compelling story follows the tragic romance of Princess Odette, who is cursed by an evil spell to live as a swan by day and a woman by night.

When Prince Siegfried chances upon a flock of swans while hunting, he encounters Odette, who transforms into a beautiful young woman under the moonlight. Captivated by her grace and beauty, Siegfried vows to break the curse. However, the evil sorcerer Rothbart and his cunning daughter Odile conspire to deceive him, threatening to destroy the prince's love and Odette’s chance for freedom.

A Visual and Emotional Spectacle

From the dazzling opulence of the palace ballroom to the hauntingly beautiful moonlit lake, Swan Lake is a feast for the eyes and soul. The ballet’s iconic scenes include the majestic "white swan" dances and the electrifying "black swan" pas de deux, showcasing some of the most exquisite choreography and music ever created.

Tchaikovsky’s timeless score and the live orchestra’s rich performance add emotional depth to this masterpiece. Swan Lake captures the entire range of human emotions—from hope and despair to tenderness and ecstasy—making it a truly unparalleled experience.

An Evening to Remember
This production of Swan Lake promises to enchant audiences of all ages with its beauty, drama, and timeless elegance. A masterpiece of classical ballet, it’s an evening out that you’ll cherish long after the final curtain falls.
