About the Show

A rebel radio crew battles for survival against government crackdowns in Britain's underground music scene.

Travel back to the mid-2000s in Hackney, where a dilapidated council flat houses Blaze FM, an illegal pirate radio station pulsing with Jungle and Grime. Blaze FM is more than a source of music; it's a lifeline for the community, delivering vital news amidst constant signal cuts and government threats. As they fight to keep the station alive, secrets unravel, loyalties are tested, and the line between freedom of expression and state oppression blurs.

See it if you want an exciting, creative, ambitious story about pirate radio in a London council estate. Unique staging, lighting. Talented singers.

Don't see it if you want a traditional spoken play. You struggle with loud music. Read more
