New production images are released for Marvellous, the inspiring true-life story of local Stoke legend Neil Baldwin and the inaugural production of Nica Burn’s new theatre @sohoplace – the first new West End theatre in 50 years.
Growing up in the 1950’s in less enlightened times, Neil Baldwin was not expected to be a success. But Neil decided he was destined to do wonderful things and that his life was going to be marvellous. And it is.
He hitchhiked across the country, became a famous clown, got an honorary degree from Keele University, was appointed Stoke City’s legendary kit man, appeared on the Queen’s New Year Honours list and accepted a BAFTA award for the film made about his life. A friend to anyone he meets, he became a local hero and an inspiration to the world. A reminder to us all not to let anything stand in the way of your dreams, just go out and make them happen.
Marvellous is at @sohoplace until 26th November.
