Northern Broadsides presents

Hard Times

The Northern Powerhouse, 1854.

Coketown – a place where the imagination is forbidden.

Thomas Gradgrind will not permit fanciful thoughts in his school

or his home. So how can he protect his children from the

corrupting influences of the circus when it comes to town? Dark

satanic mills, interrupted by the colour and vibrancy of Sleary’s

Circus, set the stage for a sweeping tale of supressed love,

seduction and social mores, peopled with the sharply observed

characters that Dickens is celebrated for.

This witty adaptation of a great Northern novel is a touching

and often hilarious tale of repression and longing.
