Tobacco Factory Theatres, in association with The Dukes in Lancaster, is presenting a 25th anniversary production of Beautiful Thing.
It offers a depiction of life and love on a post-war council estate, in the early nineties.
Each night during the play, which runs at The Dukes from November 6 to 10, the professional cast will be joined by a local community choir singing classics from the periods.
Beautiful Thing tells the story of teenagers Ste and Jamie, next door neighbours on the Thamesmead estate in South London. Jamie’s being bullied at school and Ste’s being bullied at home. One evening when it all gets too much, Ste seeks refuge at Jamie’s and something frightening and beautiful begins.
It is recommended for anyone aged 14 plus.
Beautiful Thing is currently running at Tobacco Factory Theatres in Bristol until October 27 and will tour to the New Vic Theatre, Newcastle-under-Lyme before being performed in Lancaster from November 6 to 10.
