What is Boys From the Blackstuff about?
"Gizza job. Go on, gizzit, go ‘head, giz it if you’ve got it, giz it, I can do it. Giz it then. Go ‘head, gizza job!"
Step back into the vibrant streets of 1980s Liverpool, where shellsuits, chicken and chips, and the sounds of Echo & The Bunnymen define the landscape. Meet Chrissie, Loggo, George, Dixie, and Yosser – hardworking men striving to provide for their families in the face of economic hardship. But as jobs vanish and money dwindles, they're left with a stark question: what's left to do?
Life may be tough, but these lads know how to navigate the game. From finding elusive jobs to dodging the "sniffers," they'll take you on a journey filled with laughter, resilience, and the unbreakable spirit of Liverpool.
Alan Bleasdale's groundbreaking television series became essential viewing in the 1980s, resonating deeply with audiences across the nation. Its impact was so profound that it was quickly reshown on the higher-profile BBC 1 just nine weeks after its initial transmission. And in 1989, the series was revisited in its entirety to commemorate BBC 2's 25th anniversary.
This unmissable adaptation by James Graham (Sherwood) breathes new life into Bleasdale's timeless masterpiece, delivering a powerful and poignant theatrical experience that demands to be seen. Don't miss your chance to witness history unfold on stage – book your tickets now and join us for an evening of unforgettable drama and insight.
