Two men. One Olympic dream. One running for faith. The other, to prove his worth. Based on the multi Oscar and BAFTA award winning film, Chariots of Fire is inspired by the extraordinary true story of Eric Liddell and Harold Abrahams as they strive for glory in the 1924 Paris Olympics. Now, for the first time ever, the acclaimed stage adaptation of this inspirational tale of hope, honour and belief, tours the UK. A devout Scottish Christian runs for the glory of God. The son of an immigrant Lithuanian Jew runs to overcome prejudice. Two young track athletes who live for the beautiful purity of running and who prevail in the face of overwhelming odds. Featuring the iconic music of Vangelis, Chariots of Fire brings the power of competition and the triumph of the human spirit thrillingly to life in a story celebrating courage, conviction, and the power of belief.
