They're Just Small Town (Northern) Lads is a bold and deeply personal piece written and performed by Nathan Jonathan (Hollyoaks, Doctor Who), set in a small Northern town during the Y2K era of the early 2000s and created from lived experience rooted in working class life. The show follows a mixed-race teenage boy caught between two contrasting models of masculinity: a volatile, drug-dealing father and a gentle Windrush generation grandfather, amid the pressures of small-town Northern life. It examines class, belonging, and the lasting impact of the men who shape us, exploring the expectations placed upon boys and the consequences of trying to fit a mould never made for them. The production is directed by Amanda Huxtable, with movement direction by Kate Valentine Crisp and dramaturgy by Owen Nicholls.
