A real blast from the past, this stage adaptation by James Graham and Alan Bleasdale delves into the bleak social critique of working-class life in the North during Thatcher-era Britain, exploring powerful themes of male pride and mental health.
The adaptation weaves together the stories of five unemployed Liverpudlian road workers, providing a different angle from Bleasdale's original TV series that focused on individual characters in weekly episodes.
Set in a brutal industrial landscape, 'Boys from the Blackstuff' captures the economic hardships and struggles of men like Chrissie, offering a poignant portrayal of working-class life through outstanding set design and lighting.
