For the past two years, Made In Corby
have been creating opportunities to make
brilliant new work with amazing artists. In 2014
a local choir, Deep Roots Tall Trees, see page
70, worked with Barb Jungr and the Royal
Philharmonic Orchestra to present a new song
cycle for Corby, to great acclaim. In 2015,
physical theatre company Frantic Assembly
developed a brand new theatre piece with
local people, No Way Back.

In 2016, Made In Corby present Danny Hero
the musical, a major project in collaboration
with Perfect Pitch, a company dedicated to
producing new British musicals. Local theatre
group CATS initially suggested creating a new
musical over two years ago – the idea has
since been nurtured with the involvement of
many local people throughout the journey. As
well as inspiring the storyline and music, local
people have also formed a talented cast and
creative team under the mentorship of West
End professionals from productions such as
Billy Elliot and Mamma Mia.

Written by well-known children’s author
Timothy Knapman and composer Laurence
Mark Wythe, Danny Hero is a heart-warming
story of a teenager who lives in his head – a
boy lost in his own little world of comic books
and stories until he becomes involved in a
real world battle to save his community and
the people closest to him. Can Danny find his
inner superhero? You can find out in October
half-term!

If you would like a sneak peek of the show,
listen out for a pre-release track on radio and
online to get a flavour of what to expect. It’s
going to be epic!

Danny Hero premieres at The Core at
Corby Cube and runs from Wednesday 26th
through Saturday 29th October.
