We are delighted to announce that our critically acclaimed production of Flashbang will be extended at the Lion and Unicorn Theatre for an additional run from Tuesday October 11th to Saturday 15th October with an additional show to kick off the run at the Albany Theatre Coventry.
Flashbang is the story of five best mates, a town 20 miles from anywhere where nothing ever happens and a night where their whole world is blown apart.
We’re thrilled to be able to bring the show back for this special run not only at the place the show was born but in the city that inspired the show and the people that made it.
Tickets are on sale now for all shows from the Lion & Unicorn Theatre (www.thelionandunicorntheatre.com) and Albany Theatre Box Offices.
