My last finished read of 2025. I got this title by @lungtheatre.bsky.social at a launch event for Calling Barnsley also by Lung Theatre. The 56 is a vivid and moving play script about the Bradford City Fire in 1985, something I remember all too well being a fan of a club not far away. 1/2

End of an era, but a win for the planet 🌍♻️ 250 chairs recycled from our production of The Children’s Inquiry. #thechildrensinquirymusical Huge thanks to the Ron Hull Group for making sustainability seamless.
