Simon Beaufoy's heartfelt play tells the story of an ordinary group of men striving to reclaim their dignity and pride. Fast-paced and irresistibly funny, the play remains strikingly relevant today, resonating powerfully in an era marked once again by a cost-of-living crisis. Gaz and his mates find themselves down on their luck, cast aside and underestimated — but determined to fight back, even if it means revealing more than they ever imagined.
Echoing the 1997 smash-hit film, this production delivers a rollercoaster of laughter and heartbreak as audiences are invited to relive the iconic music of the 90s cheering on this unforgettable group of lads as they prepare to put on the show of their lives.
Simon Beaufoy is an Academy Award–winning British screenwriter who won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for Slumdog Millionaire. Beaufoy is also best known for writing The Full Monty, which became an international hit and earned him an additional Oscar nomination.
