Quadrophenia

Bill Schultz, Ina Meibach And The Theatre Royal Plymouth In Association With Industrial Language Present

An explosive new stage adaptation of the legendary double album.

The iconic rock opera.

An exhilarating roller coaster of a production appealing to rebels and adolescents of all ages!

Set in London & Brighton at the height of the 1960s Mod scene, QUADROPHENIA is told through the eyes of Jimmy, a hedonistic style conscious teenager who hates his job, is misunderstood by his parents and lives for his music and to be with his scooter riding Mod clique.

QUADROPHENIA was released by The Who in 1973. It was a towering triumph as Pete Townshend’s second major rock opera following Tommy in 1969.

The true genius of the work was recognised by Rolling Stone Magazine and VH1 which both listed it amongst their 100 Greatest Albums Of All Time.

A glorious tribute to an era of youthful change and musical brilliance.

Music, lyrics and concept by Pete Townshend 
Stage adaptation by Jeff Young, John O’Hara and Tom Critchley

'The music is the best that I've ever written, and it's the best album I will ever write.'
PETE TOWNSHEND
