The inside story of a Northern town. The Batley Variations. Opera, but not as you know it "And we are, we are, we are Batley." Join us for the premiere performances of The Batley Variations. This brand new production was created from stories which were collected from the people of North Kirklees over the summer. These stories have since been set to music to become The Batley Variations: the inside story of a Northern town. You'll hear songs about local heroes, legends and the places you know including Fox's Biscuits, the infamous Golden Mile and Batley Bulldogs. Featuring a large cast of local performers, digital projections and live performance The Batley Variations is directed by Alan Dix, written by Mike Kenny (international playwright and Olivier Award winner for his adaptation of The Railway Children) and composed by Richard Taylor (winner of two UK Theatre Awards).
