The true story of a love affair between two northern British miners forms the basis for this brand new comedy heading to New York this fall after a successful UK tour. Written by Karlton Parris and mounted by Manchester-based theatre company Skint Productions, expect an entertaining and touching look at the larger than life guests of the Withering Heights On Sea hotel in the famous beachside town of Blackpool as central couple Eddy and Tommy arrive for a vacation they'll never forget.
Set in 1953, Once a year on Blackpool Sands looks at the impact of the law (homosexuality was yet to be legalised) and its repercussions on this strange bunch - odd hotel owner Gladys, her rebellious daughter Maureen and the guests - Red Ethel the ex - communist show girl and Mr Elbridge, who's preparing himself for the fabled Transvestite walk from the North to South Pier. Into this step Eddy and Tommy on their annual getaway, not knowing that within hours a revelation from Eddy will change the course of their lives forever - setting them on a path to activism in the fight for equality and freedom of the LBGTQ community
