We Will Rock You (SJ Arts Production)

We Will Rock You comes to Hull Truck Theatre on Saturday 7 November, with two performances on the one day: a matinee at 2:30pm and an evening show at 7:00pm. This is an SJ Arts production, performed by members of SJ Arts students, so it's a young cast taking on a big title.

If you're not familiar with the show, it's a high-adrenaline musical built around Queen's songs. The setlist pulls from the hits most of us know by heart: Bohemian Rhapsody, We Are the Champions, Somebody to Love, Don't Stop Me Now and We Will Rock You are all in there. The story is set in a post-apocalyptic future where individuality is outlawed and music is controlled by algorithms. Two young revolutionaries defy the system to save rock 'n' roll, and the Queen songs provide the soundtrack to that fight.

It's playing in the Godber Studio, one of the theatre's studio spaces. The venue renamed it in honour of John Godber, who's described as one of the UK's most-performed living playwrights. It's a fitting tribute given Godber's long association with the city's theatre scene. The theatre itself is celebrating its 50th year and has been awarded 'Theatre of Sanctuary' status, so there's a bit of a milestone going on around the building this season.

Tickets are £15 for adults and £10 for children, and with the 2:30pm and 7:00pm slots, you can pick whichever fits your Saturday. The Godber Studio is inside Hull Truck Theatre at 50 Ferensway, HU2 8LB.
