Meeting Joe Strummer

"A passionate punk comedy about attitude, friendship and celebrity - and a celebration of the man who set the agenda for a generation."

Following its huge success at last year's Edinburgh Festival, Middle Ground Theatre Company is delighted to present Paul Hodson's inspirational and moving Meeting Joe Strummer.

The show follows the lives of two young men, one middle-class, one working-class, from adolescence in 1977 to middle-age as they are transformed by Joe Strummer and The Clash's potent mix of rock-n-roll, iconic imagery and rebel politics.

Starring television favourites Huw Higginson (The Bill) and Steve North (London’s Burning) and featuring a carefully chosen sound track, it is must-see theatre for an entire generation.

"A magnificently simple, heartfelt, clear and brave show"
Joyce McMillan, Theatre Critic, The Scotsman

"Striking performances, well chosen tracks... oozes authenticity"
