Brighton 1984. The Grand Hotel. A Bomb has been planted. Thatcher is working. Guests are sleeping. 53 minutes until detonation. Two strangers enter Room 102. What happens next will change history, especially for Barry and Johnny.

Brighton ‘84 is a powerful new play by Yorkshire playwright Philip Stokes, recognised by the British Library as a culturally important playwright of the 21st Century.

‘In a time when politics are more divisive than ever, Brighton ’84 takes us back to a time when politics were as divisive as ever... Set on a hugely significant night in British history, the play looks at how a tragedy changed the individuals caught up in it and the wider political and societal landscape. It’s a very funny play that takes you back to bygone days. Enjoy reminiscing about how things were better back then, right until the moment a bomb explodes trying to kill everyone... Hilarious, moving and poignant, Brighton ’84 is a brilliantly engaging drama.’

Brighton ’84 reunites the award-winning cast of Shellshocked, Jack Stokes, Winner of the Adelaide Critics Circle Award, and Lee Bainbridge (Shellshocked ★★★★★, Theatre Weekly).

Brighton ’84 is presented by Richard Jordan Productions, 412, King Brilliant and The LBT.
