Welcome to ‘Pie & a Play’ from Cranked

Jeff Brown’s one-man play ‘Cornered’ is set to return to The Peacock in
Sunderland in April this year.

The show, which starred Steve Arnott as ex-SAFC
player David Corner, featured in the North-East
Theatre Guide’s Best of 2017 list, in their ‘Proud to be in the North-East’
award. Arnott will be returning to the
role again this year, to tell the story of Dave Corner’s fateful day in 1985
playing against Norwich in the Milk Cup final at Wembley, and what happened to
him afterwards.

| Jeff Brown and Dave Corner in Q&A |
As it proved so popular last year – and with many
people unable to get tickets first time round – Cranked Anvil are delighted to
be reviving this show, this time with a resident run at The Peacock. Paul Scott, general manager of the venue,
said: “The Peacock is quickly turning into an iconic and sought-after entertainment
venue here in Sunderland, in the centre of the MAC Quarter. We’re delighted to have Cranked Anvil back
with us again with this brilliant play based around SAFC.” The night’s entertainment also includes a
Q&A with Jeff Brown and David Corner, a stand-up set from Sunderland comic
David Callaghan, as well as a pie & pea supper served up by The Peacock’s
chefs. All for just £20 a ticket.

Less than 90 minutes later, a slip up on the pitch turns the dream into his worst nightmare – from which his pride, his physical safety, and ultimately his career, never recovers.
This funny and at times poignant play by BBC Look North’s Jeff Brown finds out what happened to Davey Corner after that fateful day against the Canaries…
