Overview
In 2013 All Roads Meet produced 'NEW DAWN FADES: A Play About Joy Division & Manchester' for the Greater Manchester Fringe Festival to great acclaim. We are producing the play again this year, celebrating the 40th anniversary of Joy Division's debut LP 'Unknown Pleasures'. We will be touring the UK, including Manchester, London, and Sheffield.

We are All Roads Meet, a Manchester-based theatre company

This campaign is to raise funds towards the 2019 tour of the highly-acclaimed stage play 'NEW DAWN FADES: A Play About Joy Division & Manchester'. Written by Brian Gorman in 2013 for The Greater Manchester Fringe Festival, the show has since toured the UK over several years, and played to full houses, standing ovations, and garnered rave reviews. 

 

This is the story of four ordinary lads from the North of England who, inspired by the punk revolution of the 1970s, came together to form one of the most influential bands of all time, Joy Division. 'Mr Manchester' (Tony Wilson) guides the audience through the heart and soul of both the band and the city, introducing an array of historical figures, including Roman General Julius Agricola, Dr John Dee, Frederich Engels, The Drones, Pete Shelley, and the groundbreaking Buzzcocks!

 

Special 'Unknown Pleasures 40th Anniversary Cut'

Celebrating 40 years since the release of Joy Division's groundbreaking debut LP, 'Unknown Pleasures', this revamped 2019 production will include new material and audio-visual effects.

​T​his unique production places the band within the context of Manchester's history as a city with a vibrant reputation, setting the scene for a completely new and fascinating look at the Joy Division story.

 

"I was crying. It was very emotional at the end. It captured everything perfectly. I loved it; it had everything – the music and the emotion... there was such a buzz in the building."

Rowetta, Happy Mondays

 

"...a spellbinding and brilliant play about one of the greatest bands of all time. I totally urge anyone left out there who believes in music to go and see it."

John Robb, Louder Than War

 

Writer & Executive Producer Brian Gorman says:

"I regard New Dawn Fades as the best thing I've ever written, and the audience reaction to the stage production has been truly humbling and incredibly emotional. The graphic novel version has recently been published to rave reviews, and it will be wonderful to once again share the Joy Division story, on stage in 2019,  with the fans."

 

Producer Giles Bastow says:

"We are looking to raise enough funds to facilitate the smooth running of the show, plus allowing us to cover transport, accomodation, etc. There are also marketing, rehearsals, musical equipment, and venue hire. "
