THE 56 Thu 5 - Sat 7 May
Eves 7.45pm
‘Nobody dies in football matches in
fires. It doesn’t happen’
At 3.40pm on 11 May 1985, a fire broke
out in the main stand at Valley Parade
football ground during the last game of
the season. Within four minutes, the
wooden structure was ablaze.
Adapted from more than sixty real-life
testimonies, this bold and pertinent
piece of documentary theatre pays
homage to the supporters who lost
their lives in one of the darkest days
in British footballing history.
All profits of The 56 will be donated to
the University of Bradford Burns and
Plastic Surgery Unit.
Tickets: £11.50
Groups 10+: one free ticket

If you have used our Access & Carer provision in the past, you must join this new Scheme in order to continue to receive any discounts to which you may be entitled.
