Billy Liar at The Courtyard Theatre

Dreamer. Liar. Escape artist. In 'Billy Liar', Billy Fisher spins wild fantasies to escape life in a small Yorkshire town in 1960s Britain—but when reality catches up with him, the stories start to unravel. Around him is a vivid world of colourful characters and a tightly bound way of life—where marriage is expected, ambitions are limited, and three generations live under one roof. Funny, fast and laced with biting social observation, this rarely performed stage adaptation of Keith Waterhouse & Willis Hall’s iconic novel is brought to life by a graduating cast, immersing themselves in a timeless story about growing up, breaking free, and daring to change.
