The Stephen Joseph Theatre’s co-production of Brassed Off, seen at the Scarborough Theatre in August, has been nominated for a major award.

The nomination comes hot on the heels of the SJT winning the UK Theatre Award for Best Play for Children and Young People for last Christmas’s Beauty and the Beast.

Brassed Off, a co-production with Theatre by the Lake and the Octagon Theatre Bolton, is in the running for Best Regional Production at the WhatsOnStage Awards, which will be announced on 9 February.

The award is decided by a popular vote – to vote, visit: https://awards.whatsonstage.com/25th-annual-whatsonstage-awards-vote-now/

Voting closes on 9 January.

Jeannie Swales is Press Officer for Stephen Joseph Theatre:

Musical supervisor Matthew Malone is also nominated for Best Musical Direction/Supervision.

Adapted for the stage by Paul Allen from the screenplay by Bridlington-born Mark Herman, who also directed the smash hit 1996 film, Brassed Off was directed by Liz Stevenson and performed by Daneka Etchells, Maxine Finch, Joey Hickman, Joanna Holden, Matt Ian Kelly, Greg Patmore, Russell Richardson, Barney Taylor, Andrew Turner and Hannah Woodward.
