SONGS FROM THE SEVEN HILLS is an original musical based on the lives and stories of the people of Sheffield. Commissioned by the Sheffield Crucible, Noisemaker partnered with playwright, John Hollingworth, and the acclaimed Sheffield People's Theatre, to develop this large scale community project as part of the Crucible's 2017/18 Season.
Using a mass cast of local people, SONGS FROM THE SEVEN HILLS was an ambitious and heartfelt project, celebrating this rich, vibrant community and it's stories.
