1924 Paris Olympic Games, Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell race for acceptance and glory as they vie to become the fastest men on Earth.

Based on an extraordinary true story, both men yearn for the simplicity of the track as they battle for their faiths and nation in this inspirational and moving tale of courage, honour and conviction.

A heart-pounding new production set to a soaring musical score, adapted from the Oscar-winning movie by Mike Bartlett (King Charles III) and directed by Robert Hastie (Standing at the Sky’s Edge).
