Tinderbox Theatre Company has teamed up with award-winning playwright Stacey Gregg and rising music star Katie Richardson (Katie and the Carnival) to create Huzzies for the 50th Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s.

In this compelling piece of new writing, Huzzies tells the story of the making of a band who crave distraction from the humdrum of everyday life and yearn for something better. Meet Dee, fighting to escape from the shadow of her dysfunctional family and Pete, who thinks being in a band is a great way to meet girls. Or Shona, messing around until a better offer comes along while Claire, ever the good girl, just wants to fit in.

Fast-paced, direct and full of Stacey Gregg’s trademark wit, Huzzies follows the highs and lows of a band desperate for fame as they hurl themselves at Belfast’s music scene. Each other’s best friends and their own worst enemies, the band stumbles from dodgy cover versions to true inspiration, with lots of laugh out loud moments. But just as the success Dee craves seems within their grasp, she is forced to make a terrible choice that threatens all their futures.

Katie Richardson has composed a set of specially created songs and music for the show, which will be performed live by a stellar cast of actor-musicians.

Tinderbox sold out during 2011’s Ulster Bank Belfast Festival at Queen’s with Paul Kennedy’s cult hit Guidelines for a Long and Happy Life.
