Acclaimed Joy Division play New Dawn Fades is on tour and chronicles the rise and fall of this ground-breaking post-punk band and the tragic suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis.
Showing in theatres around the country, it's the story of four ordinary lads from Manchester, Salford and Macclesfield who, inspired by the punk revolution of the 1970s, came together to form one of the most influential bands of all time, Joy Division.
A big hit at the Greater Manchester Fringe Festival in July 2013, New Dawn Fade subsequently played to capacity audiences and standing ovations at Macclesfield WinterFest (Ian Curtis’s home town) as it did in March 2014 during a one-off performance at Manchester’s Dancehouse Theatre.
Now it’s at Liverpool Epstein Thgeatre April 7-9 and Manchester Dancehouse April 14-16.
