Brassed Off the stage play


I am a very big fan of the movie Brassed Off. I just found out that a stage play of Brassed Off is going to be on at the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth UK. I am going to go and see it. I think it will be fun. Is the stage show any good? I know it will not be the same as the movie. If anyone has seen the stage show some info about it would be good? I know that it will not be the smae as the movie.

I am in a performance of the stage play in Tasmania Australia. Said to be the first staging in the southern hemisphere. I find the translation to stage to be very effective. There is a bigger part for the kid and the player roles have been condensed from 6 to 5 roles, but it is very true to the film. It is however darker in its scripting I feel, particularly at the end (without giving away spoilers).

Our first show is this Friday, so wish us luck.

As there is very little likelihood of it ever hitting the theatres where I am .... I was wondering if anyone could please share with me the significant changes in the storyline and the new ending.

Please ....
