A play about friendship and music takes centre stage in Hexham next week.

Fox and Hound Theatre’s Because We Said We Would will be performed at Queen's Hall Arts Centre on Tuesday, March 24, and Wednesday, March 25, at 7pm. 

Jennifer Thompson Chatburn of The Reviews Hub, said: "Crawford and Fox both demonstrate an impressive acting range that is unfaltering as they seamlessly transition between decades."

The play follows Jeanie and Tam from childhood into adulthood as they navigate life through changing music scenes, personal challenges and a promise to meet every five years.

The story is set in a stylised ‘white board world’ where scenes and characters are drawn in real-time during the performance.

Because We Said We Would is described as a “dynamic, working-class story of friendship and music, tracing decades of love, loss, and loyalty that unfolds with humour and heart.”

It runs for approximately one hour and 35 minutes and is recommended for audiences aged 14 and up.

Tickets start from £13 and can be booked via the Queen's Hall website at www.queenshall.co.uk/whats-on/because-we-said-we-would
