Theatre, Theatre Drama.

The world premiere, inspirational true story about the happiest, luckiest human in the world. From the moment he was born, Neil knew he was destined to do wonderful things. And so that's what he did. He hitchhiked across the country then became a famous clown; he joined a church choir then appeared on Songs of Praise; he went to see his local football team then became their kit man; he left school at 14 with no qualifications then received an honorary degree from Keele University. Originally a novel and then made into a BAFTA award-winning BBC film, this new stage adaptation tells the life-affirming, uplifting account of the life of Neil 'Nello' Baldwin, a person who refused to accept the label of learning difficulties. A heart-warming story about how to realise your dreams - even when society tries to limit you.
