Meeting Joe Strummer

Event information

By Paul Hodson

“Punk defined a generation of Thatcher's children who went on to sell out and become something in the City. But where did all that idealism and integrity go? Paul Hodson's two-hander is not just a piece of nostalgia, but an entertaining account of how time slips away and how, even years later, we can still recall what it felt like to be 16. When Nick and Steve meet on a march in 1977 they have little in common. But when Nick plays a Clash record, a lifelong Joe Strummer obsession is born for both of them. Spanning over 20 years up to Strummer's death in 2002, it's theatre's High Fidelity.” The Guardian

"A wonderful production, Joe would have loved it." Lucinda Mellor (Joe Strummer’s wife)
