The show is created and first performed in Sheffield and is returning to the theatre it debuted in, before heading off for a season at the National Theatre in London.

It’s the show’s first time back to the city since it’s first run in 2019 and Sheffield Theatres artistic director Rob Hastie said to The Star in November that the show is the one people are most keen to see again and ask when it will return.
