Standing at the Sky's Edge


Standing at the Sky's Edge, Crucible, 2019.

Cast: Darragh Cowley, Nicole Deon, Louis Gaunt, Adam Hugill, Robert Lonsdale, Fela Lufadeju, Maimuna Memon, Johanne Murdock, Damian Myerscough, Alastair Natkiel, Faith Omole, Deborah Tracey, Rachael Wooding, Alex Young, Dylan Hughes/Fraser Hughes, Eva Phillips, A'vaye Stewart Paton.

Music & lyrics: Richard Hawley
Book: Chris Bush
Director: Robert Hastie

This was just magnificent. I love Richard Hawley and am increasingly fond of Sheffield so I went to it with an open heart and wasn't disappointed. The staging was brilliant, really cleverly recreating the block of flats you see when you come into Sheffield station. Alex Young being in the cast was a nice bonus. This is exactly the kind of thing regional theatre should do more of - a joy!
