Marching on Together Still Fools True ColoursMarching on Together
Synopsis:
It's Leeds, during the height of the football season in 1984, and it's carnage. West Yorkshire miners are on strike and football hooliganism is rife, with bitter battles being fought on both the picket line and the touchline. Macca, ex-leader of the notorious Service Crew, is released from prison into a divided Leeds that he hardly recognises. With Macca's infamous crew now disbanded, a younger generation have taken up his violent mantle defending the mighty Whites, leaving the former hooligan general on the side-lines without an army. Abandoned by the only group who respected and supported him, Macca is no longer just fighting for Leeds. He's fighting for his own survival.

Synopsis:
Albert is a retired miner, Dewsbury born and bred. He feels that his community is changing- and not for the better. Particularly regarding the Asian population- an attitude fuelled by his wife dying of a heart attack after being mugged by an Asian man. So when his new home care worker, Janade, turns out to be Pakistani, sparks are bound to fly as both men find themselves confronting some very uncomfortable inner truths&? A new play by award-winning writer Adam Hughes, True Colours is a story of ignorance, loneliness, and what it really means to be British in modern society.
