On Boxing Day 2015, the small Yorkshire town of Hebden Bridge experienced the worst floods in century. But, as the town submerged a community emerged, working together to rebuild their sodden town.

Honest and touching with a dash of Northern humour, The Flood is a love letter to a town that refused to give in to the volatility of nature.

Performed by a team of multi-rolling actor musicians, representing the diverse, yet passionate, members of Hebden Bridge’s community, interweaving dozens of personal stories taken from every corner of the town.
