Bill Kenwright Ltd presents the Liverpool’s Royal Court and National Theatre production of Alan Bleasdale’s BOYS FROM THE BLACKSTUFF by James Graham
Gizza job. Go on, gizzit. 80s Liverpool.
Chrissie, Loggo, George, Dixie and Yosser are used to hard work and providing for their families. But there is no work and there is no money. What are they supposed to do? Work harder, work longer, buy cheaper, spend less? They just need a chance.
Life is tough but the lads can play the game. Find jobs, avoid the ‘sniffers’ and see if you can have a laugh along the way.
James Graham’s powerful new adaptation of Alan Bleasdale’s BAFTA award-winning TV series is directed by Kate Wasserberg and comes to Newcastle Theatre Royal direct from the National Theatre and the West End.
