About Pride
Don’t miss Pride, a heartfelt new musical based on the beautiful true story of Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, as the National Theatre production transfers to the Bridge.
Pride in London is set during the miners’ strike of 1984 and follows a young activist, Mark Ashton, as he helps form an unlikely political alliance between London LGBTQ+ activists during the AIDS crisis and the pit communities of South Wales. With the country in turmoil in the middle of these two difficult hardships, both communities are facing great hostility and prejudice. The group begins to raise money for striking miners and finds unlikely friendships.
Based on the hit film Pride, this new musical reunites writer Stephen Beresford and director Matthew Warchus, who return to the story they brought to the screen together. Featuring original music by Christopher Nightingale, Josh Cohen, and DJ Walde, Pride brings to the stage an uplifting story of solidarity.

A fantastic emotional story, slightly let down by the songs and lyrics in act one which halted rather than advanced the story and the overall feeling of the show
Moving in a heart-warming, delightful way. A true story that changed the course of and impacted many lives.
Pride is an incredibly meaningful piece of art. It is frank, truthful, and unapologetically real. It is also amazing theatre, with spectacular acting and vocal performances. At its heart, it demonstrates what is achievable when communities come together with compassion and empathy. Given the current political climate, Pride is more important than ever. Unity within the queer community, and solidarity with other minorities, is our power.
