NS Archive 2021: Shandyland (Pint Size)

A Northern Stage production in association with imPOSSIBLE Producing and Matthew Schmolle Productions Ltd as part of Get Shorty.

Undeterred by the devastation of now being cancelled twice due to COVID, the brilliant team behind Shandyland came together to make a short film to celebrate the play and give us a taster of what is to come.

Through this snapshot of Shandyland – you will meet some of our characters, feel the spirit of the pub where the play is set and get a taste of what makes it so special. It is our hope you love the place, and the people in it, as much as we do. Enjoy.

There’s a Place… A love letter to the northern boozer. From Brendan. On Valentine’s night in Shandyland. Just like every other night in Shandyland.

“There’s a place. With a name like a heartbeat”
