A brand-new trailer has been released for PRIDE, the uplifting new musical based on the award-winning 2014 film, ahead of its upcoming transfer to London's Bridge Theatre this November.
Set in the summer of 1984, against the backdrop of the miners' strike and the growing AIDS crisis, PRIDE tells the extraordinary true story of a group of lesbian and gay activists who come together to support striking miners and their families in a small village in South Wales. Led by 24-year-old activist Mark Ashton, the group forms Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners (LGSM), building an unexpected alliance between two communities who discover they have far more in common than they first imagined.
What begins as an unlikely partnership develops into a powerful story of friendship, acceptance and solidarity, as both communities come together in the face of prejudice, adversity and social division. Funny, fierce and full of heart, PRIDE celebrates the strength of standing together and the difference that collective action can make.
The musical brings together the original film's award-winning creative team, with Stephen Beresford adapting his screenplay into a book and lyrics, and Matthew Warchus ( Matilda The Musical ) developing and directing the stage production. Featuring original music by Christopher Nightingale, Josh Cohen and DJ Walde, the score draws inspiration from 1980s pop, rock, disco, protest anthems and the Welsh choral tradition.
Following a sold-out preview run at Cardiff's Sherman Theatre and a successful world premiere at the National Theatre's Dorfman Theatre, PRIDE now heads to the Bridge Theatre, bringing its joyful and timely story to a new London audience.
Watch the new trailer here. PRIDE runs at the Bridge Theatre from 12th November 2026 to 8th May 2027.
