At Anvil Arts, Basingstoke · 2 performances from Thu 29 Oct to Fri 30 Oct.

New Dawn Fades - A Play About Joy Division And Manchester returns with a scintillating new production touring the UK in 2026. The play tells the story of four ordinary lads who, inspired by the punk revolution of 1970s Manchester, came together to form one of the most influential bands of all time, Joy Division. Following the untimely death of lead singer Ian Curtis, the band went on to huge world-wide success as New Order. For 2026, New Dawn Fades reunites the creative team from last year's sell-out tour, with producers NIGEL CARR and TONY DAVIDSON. It is written by the award-winning BRIAN GO
