With a hilarious and gut-wrenching book by Chris Bush, Standing at the Sky's
Edge charts the hopes and dreams of three generations over the course of six
tumultuous decades, navigating universal themes of love, loss and survival.
Standing at the Sky's Edge is a multi- award- winning production, winning 'Best
New Musical' at the 2023 Olivier Awards with Shefeld singer-songwriter, Richard
Hawley and Tom Deering also winning 'Best Original Score and New
Orchestrations'.
It was recently awarded the internationally recognised 'Made in Shefeld'r
accolade, the frst time a theatre production has received this unique trademark.
Previously it has won the 2020 South Bank Sky Arts Award for Theatre and 'Best
Musical Production' at the UK Theatre Awards in 2019. First commissioned by
Shefeld Theatres and Various Productions, Standing at the Sky's Edge had its
world premiere at the Crucible Theatre in 2019.
Following a hugely successful, sold-out run, it returned to the Crucible Theatre in
December 2022, selling out again, before making its London premiere in the
National Theatre's Olivier theatre in early 2023 where it continued to sell out and
receive standing ovations. The physical release comes in the form of a CD and
double vinyl gatefold.
