Hi all,

I'd like to let you know about a special football and social history related performance at this year's Brighton Fringe festival. All the detail's are below. Be great to see Brighton fan's along. I've arranged a special 10% discount for Brighton supporters - use the code SPARK 17.

Simple, Powerful, Moving. Truth Street at the Brighton Fringe.

Truth Street- a people’s story of the Hillsborough Stadium disaster - weaves eye witness testimony into one simple voice that bears witness to the truth of that fateful day and it’s aftermath.

1989. The jeans and trainers end of a decade. Eternal Flame is number one. The Iron curtain’s turning to rust. And one sunny day in April football, the nation’s sporting obsession, is about to change forever.

Truth Street takes you pack to that fateful day. The script is taken entirely from eye-witness accounts to the Hillsborough Stadium disaster on 15 April 1989. Focusing on everyday life and language, grammar uncorrected, every line is drawn from over two hundred and sixty days of formal evidence presented to the specially convened court in Warrington.

As a result of events that afternoon, ninety-six men, women and children lost their lives.**It remains the most serious tragedy in UK sporting history. Thousands suffered physical injury and/or long-term psychological harm.*But events did not*finish that day,*The*disaster led to a*twenty-seven*year fight for*justice that still*continues.

The show listen’s to the resonances held in our collective memory of this fateful date, hears the poetry found in the hearts of the people who lived through this tragedy, and weave their testimonies into a singular voice.

“ Simple, powerful, moving.” Brian Patten.

“ Worth a million over words.” Helen Mort.


Truth Street will be performed on Tuesday 16 May at 9 pm. The show takes place at the Waterfront One venue, part of the Waterfront Hotel on the central Brighton seafront. The show is part of The Spark Factory at the Brighton Fringe.

The performance text will be published by Smokestack Books in April 2019 to mark the 30th Anniversary of the Hillsborough Stadium Disaster.
