You are invited backstage to the Theatre Royal in 1854.

Returning from London to tread the boards in her hometown, Julia is greeted by fellow actresses Emily and Fanny.

Backstage in their dressing room we discover their dreams, aspirations and secrets and reflect on the nature of fame.

Set against the backdrop of a dramatic night in the town, Limelight is based on the career of Julia St George, a real-life star of the Victorian stage born on Broad Chare, Newcastle.

Performed with songs from the era, this is a new production from the acclaimed team who brought you Haddock and Chips.
