Britain's What's On Event Guide
Fishlake - The Play
'Fishlake' is a powerful new play based on true events of the 2019 Fishlake floods and it tours to Doncaster, Wakefield and Rotherham this October 2025. Using real accounts from those who lived through the disaster, ‘Fishlake’ by Jeremy Fletcher tells of the South Yorkshire village devastated by the flood when overnight 90% of its 250 homes were submerged beneath floodwater. All of a sudden, Fishlake was thrust into the centre of a national storm, surrounded by TV crews, politicians, the military and emergency responders.
