A Poignant Story by Jonathan Maitland

In 2012, Wilko Johnson, the iconic rock star and founder of legendary Essex band Dr Feelgood, was told he had inoperable cancer and a year to live. Refusing all treatment, he decided to spend his last months living meaningfully: seeing the people, places and things which meant most to him during his remarkable life.

Then, a miracle happened…

A play with live music comes to York, direct from the Leicester Square Theatre in London’s West End and before that, from the Southwark Playhouse, following critical and audience acclaim in its initial run at Queen’s Theatre Hornchurch in 2024.

This show is now on sale for YTR members. General on sale will open at 1pm on 27 Apr. Find out more about becoming a YTR member here.
