QUADROPHENIA Comes To The New Theatre Cardiff 14-18 July

Rev your Vespa engine and take a trip back to sixties Britain at the height of the Mod era. Experience the iconic rock opera Quadrophenia in a new stage adaption of the legendary double album by the Who. Music, lyrics, and concept are by Pete Townsend.

Set in London and Brighton at the height of the Mod era, Quadrophenia is told through the eyes of Jimmy, a hedonistic style conscious teenager searching for a place to belong and a girl to love. Misunderstood by his parents and stuck in a dead end job, he sets off on a trip to Brighton that will change his life forever.

This compelling coming of age story is brought to life in this original stage adaptation of the legendary album. The evocative world of sixties Britain provides a colourful backdrop to Jimmy’s journey. Pete Townshend’s stunning score pulsates with life and brilliantly captures the excitement of a nation on the brink of change.

The album Quadrophenia was released by The Who in 1973 followed by the iconic film in 1979. Rolling Stone magazine and VH1 have named it one of the 100 Greatest Albums of all Time.

Quadrophenia is suitable for people ages 15+.

Tickets for under 25s are £16 for most performances.
