Jonathan Harvey returns to his native Liverpool with the 20th anniversary of his classic urban love story Beautiful Thing.

Suranne Jones leads the cast over a long hot summer on a Thamesmead housing estate. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, this limited national tour comes to the Liverpool Playhouse direct from the West End between May 28 and June 1.

Acclaimed from its first production at the Bush Theatre in 1993, Beautiful Thing has earned a cult following, furthered by Harvey’s own adaptation into a successful film.
