Based on Jonathan Tulloch’s novel The Season Ticket, which became the cult Geordie film Purely Belter, Olivier award winning Jamie Eastlake’s adaptation, Gerry and Sewell is a vibrant rainbow of black and white. For the Toon. And for anyone chasing a dream.

Gerry and Sewell live in Gateshead. They’ve got nowt. But they are desperate for one thing. A season ticket to their beloved Toon. But after years of living in austerity and seeing their football club shelled out by a cockney bloke who sells sports tat, life is a struggle. Until they decide they’re getting those season tickets. And now they’ve got their mission, nowt is gonna stand in their way. Whey, apart from maybe a few radgie charvers, the social and the odd madcap scrap merchant.

First performed at Laurel’s Theatre, Whitley Bay in 2022, Gerry and Sewell transferred to Live Theatre in October 2023. It most recently moved to Newcastle Theatre Royal in October 2024 to near sell-out crowds.

Written and directed by Jamie Eastlake. Starring Dean Logan, Rebecca Clayburn, Jack Robertson, Bill Ward, Michelle Heaton and Erin Mullen, as well as students from Project A and Sage Performing Arts Centre.
