Sugar Punch Theatre presents: GRIMM : By Evangeline Henderson
Cod. War. Women. And Beer.
Why Grimsby? Why Now?
Grimsby. 11th March 1961. Landing day. And the end of the Cod War. Since 1958 the men have been going to sea with the threat of war looming over them. But now they’re free, they’re back in town and they’re ready to head down to the ship’s disco.
And of course there’s the women they left behind…
It will be 7 years before the triple trawler tragedy, it will be 11 before the second cod war and 15 before the fishing industry collapses on itself all together. The fishing community of Grimsby have been forgotten by all, society and government alike, and yet they are, still to this day, 115 times more likely to suffer injury than any other workforce. Their story needs to be told and Grimm is here to do it.
After its sold out 2023 hit preview, Grimm returns promising laughs, scrapes and a whole heap of fish – this is Grimsby as it was. So, grab your mate, skipper or loved one and meet us at the ship’s disco where there’s a pint with your name on it!
Venue Details
After facing a devastating closure during the 2020 Covid-19 pandemic under the ownership of a national company, the previous management of the Polar Bear worked to resurrect the venue as swiftly as possible. With an overwhelming outpour of support from the resilient community of Hull, ‘Polar Bear Music Club’ made a triumphant return in 2021, this time as a Community Interest Company (CIC). In collaboration with their friends from ‘The Sesh,’ Polar Bear is dedicated to offering free entry nights every Tuesday, featuring a diverse line-up of local, national, and international musicians. Additionally, the venue hosts weekly free entry club nights, along with ticketed gigs and live performances, catering to a wide range of musical tastes and preferences for the people of Hull.
