Stanley. June 3rd 1989. Glenn McCrory enters the ring attempting to become the first World Champion from the North-East and fulfil a dream he shared with his brother, David.
The brother he had to carry as a kid, who is fighting for his life against a terminal illness and who inspired him back from the depths of despair.
Witness the amazing true events that led to this point and one of the greatest comebacks ever seen.
This remarkable true story of love, hope and triumph over adversity finally comes to life on the big stage. Pure inspiration, with a captivating performance by Micky Cochrane.
From the team that brought Wor Bella, Haddaway Harry and The Cramlington Train Wreckers.
There is a free post show talk with Glenn McCrory in the auditorium after the first evening performance. Tickets are free but must be pre-booked.
