Newcastle United themed play set to return to the stage at city centre theatre

A play following the story of two Newcastle United fans will be returning to the stage this Autumn after a successful North Tyneside run.

Gerry and Sewell is an adaptation of the book The Season Ticket by Cumbria born author Jonathan Tulloch, telling the story of two Newcastle fans joined by a love for their club.

The show is transferring after two sell out runs at Laurels in Whitley Bay, making the production the first ever North East fringe theatre transfer in 50 years of Live Theatre.
