It’s Yorkshire in the summer of 1962. Every week six miners meet to make music. This unlikely band of brothers joke around, sing and tell tall tales … but bubbling just under the surface is heartache and betrayal.

Combining raucous wit and spellbinding close-harmony singing, Richard Cameron’s celebrated hit is as insightful and poignant as it is hilarious.

Prepare to have your heartstrings tugged!

If you liked The Full Monty, Brassed Off and The Pitmen Painters, you’ll love this.

‘somehow all the more moving ... under Tessa Walker’s direction’ The Stage

Welcome to ourAutumn Season

Over the summer we’ve discovered a new star in Lauren Hood (Little Voice), teased you with Theatre Brothel (parts of which then transferred to the Almeida and Arcola theatres in London), parked 150 scooters in Theatre Square on Ferensway to celebrate our sell-out production of Quadrophenia, completed a critically acclaimed national tour of The Lady in the Van and collaborated in two of the hottest shows at the Edinburgh Fringe – including Scary Gorgeous by Rash Dash, co-commissioned by Hull Truck, which scooped a coveted Fringe First Award.

This Season opens with the heart-warming and heartbreaking drama, The Glee Club, set in the pit villages of 1960s Yorkshire. Originally directed by Hull Truck’s founder, Mike Bradwell, at the Bush Theatre in the late 90s, this brand new production makes its debut in Hull with a superb cast and with some of the best close harmony singing you’ll ever hear!

Director Natalie Abrahami returns to Hull after her acclaimed A Midsummer Night’s Dream (‘reminds you why you love theatre’, Yorkshire Post) with a special co-production between Hull Truck and The Gate Theatre. Together we have commissioned a stunning new translation of Lorca’s classic play Yerma.

November welcomes John Godber’s The Debt Collectors – a hilarious new comedy from one of the nation’s favourite playwrights.

Hull Truck’s grown-up/family seasonal treat is The Flint Street Nativity by Tim Firth (Calendar Girls). James Holmes (Alan Bennett in The Lady in the Van) and Lauren Hood (Little Voice herself) return to Hull for this uplifting, fast-paced comedy, which is joyful and deeply Christmassy! - from 8 December – 14 January.

The Elves and the Shoemaker provides the Christmas fun for ages 4 and up! Join Corky and Peeptoe for the classic fairytale.

Come and see us soon –from great plays by living writers to brand new writing, opera to jazz …. all in the main theatre and the lively studio theatre next door.

The new comedy from one of the nation’s favourite playwrights.

The Debt Collectors mixes money and love with the love of money, as two out of work actors fall into the world of debt recovery. It’s a role they despise but a job they were made for, and they are desperate for cash. But all is not what it seems in this hilarious comedy of unpaid bills, offers of sex and boozy bailiffs!

The Debt Collectors - they know where you live, and how much you paid for it! A contemporary comedy about credit, castings and cashing in.

Demanding money has never been as funny.
