We are delighted to sponsor the Northern Soul Productions performances of KEEP ON KEEPIN’ ON in Crewe!
Written by Mick Martin, Keep On Keepin’ On is a soulful, heartfelt and hilariously chaotic tale of love, family, and survival set to the beat of Northern Soul.
What is it about?
Eugene and Maxine’s teenage romance first ignited on the dance floor, but life has spun them in and out of each other’s arms ever since. Now, Eugene spends his weekends DJing—still living for the music—while struggling all week to keep his Northern Soul-themed discount home improvement and white goods emporium from going under. He’s juggling a failing business, a restless Polish girlfriend, a daughter on the brink of disowning him, and even his dog seems ready to bail.
Just when he thinks things couldn’t possibly get worse, Maxine reappears with one more request —one that will change everything. Their son has just gotten out of jail, and he needs Eugene’s help. Cue Storm Liam!
A laugh-out-loud, soul-rich, cash-poor story of a dysfunctional Northern Soul family just trying to keep it together on a run-down northern high street.
The cast
Bringing the story to life are Neil Bell (Adolescence, Peaky Blinders, and Silent Witness) who plays lifelong Northern Soul die hard shopkeeper, Eugene and Caroline Chesworth, who plays his long-suffering ex-wife (All Creatures Great & Small, Brassic and Coronation Street).
