Boys from the Blackstuff is heading to Theatr Clwyd
-
THE cast has been announced for the forthcoming production of Alan Bleasdale’s classic Boys from the Blackstuff which is coming to Theatr Clwyd in Mold.
Following sold out seasons at Liverpool’s Royal Court and the National Theatre, and in London's West End at the Garrick Theatre, the production hits the road in 2025 on a 20 venue tour, ending at Theatr Clwyd from July 1-5.
In '80s Liverpool, Chrissie, Loggo, George, Dixie and Yosser are used to hard work and providing for their families. But there is no work and there is no money. What are they supposed to do?
They just need a chance. Life is tough but the lads can play the game. Find the jobs, avoid the ‘sniffers’ and see if you can have a laugh along the way.
