Boys from the Blackstuff

Forty years after Alan Bleasdale’s TV series was essential viewing, Stockroom and Liverpool’s Royal Court present a new adaptation by James Graham, writer of hit BBC series Sherwood.

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.

Cast includes Andrew Schofield, Barry Sloane, Mark Womack, George Caple, Dominic Carter, Helen Carter, Aron Julius, Oliver Mawdsley, Nathan McMullen and Lauren O’Neil.

It will run from September 15 to October 28.

Age advisory 14+.
