UB40 have joined forces with Birmingham's Repertory Theatre to stage a new musical next Spring.

Promises and Lies

The world premiere of a powerful new musical with music by UB40

20 March to 15 April 2006

Music and lyrics by UB40

Set on the harder side of the city where life is tough. The characters of Promises and Lies live on the fringes of society. There are the manipulators who control, and the ordinary people whose destinies lie in their hands. These are the people we don't see - or perhaps choose not to see. But desperate people have hope - and they will fight: not everyone chooses to be a statistic..... not jus a forgotten name on the list.

Promises and Lies is the uplifting story of people battling against the odds to survive on the edge of our deceptively glossy modern cities. Featuring a host of classic and well-loved UB40 tracks, Promises and Lies also contains new songs from the band, specially composed for this show. And true to their roots, UB40 have chosen a Birmingham stage for it's premiere.
