Live Theatre is preparing to open its doors to Newcastle audiences with a new season packed with “the new, the unheard and the unexpected”, kicking things off with a high-energy play about the power of friendship.
We Are The Best! begins its run at Live from Thursday, and promises to be “a glorious high volume slice of anarchy” set in the 80s in which three youngsters decide to start a punk band. Written by Rebecca Glendenning, the play is the directorial debut from Live’s new Artistic Director Jack McNamara.
Taking on the role back in September - in the wake of the pandemic and one of the most difficult periods for the theatre industry - was “daunting”, admits Jack, but “felt like an important thing to do”. Now that audiences are finally able to return to Live, Jack says that he wants to welcome them back with a show that “feels like a hug”.
