About Pride

An extraordinary true story of solidarity, friendship and hope

An extraordinary true story of solidarity, friendship and hope.

Welcome to Britain in 1984. As the miners’ strike divides the country and the AIDS crisis intensifies, 24-year-old activist Mark Ashton brings together a group of lesbian and gay campaigners to support striking miners and their families.

Based on the remarkable true story that inspired the BAFTA-winning film, Pride: The Musical brings these events to the stage through an original score influenced by pop, rock, disco and the Welsh choral tradition. The musical reunites Stephen Beresford and Matthew Warchus, the writer and director of the original film.

Following performances at Cardiff’s Sherman Theatre and a sold-out run at the National Theatre, Pride: The Musical transfers to London’s Bridge Theatre from 12th November 2026.
