Don't You Know It's Going to be ALright
By Maxine peake
“Spice Girls? Give me a break. I like Mel B though. Mainly cause she’s from Leeds and I reckon she’d be a right laugh.”
What a year it’s been. Princess Diana’s gone and New Labour are riding high. Danny opens a can and remembers club nights, illicit partying and her family loyalties. What a trip.
Don't You Know It's Going To Be Alright was part of Decades, six new plays commissioned to celebrate the 50th anniversary of Leeds Playhouse, from writers with strong links to the theatre. These new monologues featured characters firmly rooted in the North telling stories set in each of the decades.
Powerful and insightful with biting Yorkshire wit, these tales reflected the spirit of the people, the city and the region, showing us who we are and how our lives have been shaped by the place we call home.
Decades: Stories from the City was performed live in the Courtyard Theatre at the Playhouse and online on Playhouse At Home in May 2021. All performances included pre-recorded creative audio description.
