SCRIPT OF ACCLAIMED BORO PLAY IS PUBLISHED.

Middlesbrough playwright Alan Spence is now publishing the script and handbook for his acclaimed play, 'The BORO's 37mins' which celebrates the Boro's survival after coming close to the brink of disaster in 1986.

The play, which features video clips from the time, covers the club, the community and the personal lives of the Boro fans as the fortunes of the football club mirror those of the wider Teesside area at a time of widespread unemployment and social problems.

Originally performed at the 2010 Middlesbrough Literary Festival and again at Teesside University in 2011, the play invoked an emotional response from audiences and fans. Former Boro player Colin Cooper said at the performance, That era was a special time and it's been great revisiting it. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

The new book, due to be released by Sixth Element Publishing, includes background to the area and the club, the full script of the play itself, production notes and educational resources for Key Stages 3, 4 and 5.

Rob Nichols, editor of the Boro fanzine Fly Me To The Moon, said, Exciting news. The original play leading to its cliff hanger 37 mins deadline, with all the passion, history, tradition, could make a fabulous 'must have' book.

Lesley Firman added, A thoroughly enjoyable book, both educational and fun. It is a complete package for anyone to put on the play and the 'additional' material provides a 'feel' of the play. It's a brilliant piece of work.

Aimed at fans and families as well as schools and community theatre groups, Alan is looking forward to working with a new generation of Boro fans and inspiring them to know more about the heritage of the club and our area.
