Photos: BEAUTIFUL THING Starring Suranne Jones!

Directed by Nikolai Foster, and designed by Colin Richmond, Beautiful Thing stars SurAnne Jones as Sandra, Zaraah Abrahams as Leah, Oliver Farnworth as Tony and introduces Jake Davies as Jamie and Danny-Boy Hatchard, making his professional debut as Ste. Nancy Sullivan and Luke Baker will also join the company as understudy covers.

Beautiful Thing is a glorious urban love story between two young men set on an inner city housing estate. It tells the story of teenager Jamie's relationship with classmate and neighbour Ste. Together the two boys find comedy, warmth and the music of Mama Cass through their loud-mouthed next door neighbour Leah. The play exquisitely depicts what it is to be sixteen, in the first flush of love, and full of optimism.
