The cast of Full Monty

Manchester-born ex Corrie actor Craig Gazey and Bolton’s Roger Morlidge are among the cast for The Full Monty at The Lowry from April 15-20.

Simon Beaufoy, the Oscar winning writer of the hit film, has gone back to Sheffield to produce his first work for the theatre. His screen credits also include 127 Hours, Salmon Fishing in Yemen and Slumdog Millionaire.

In this new production, Rochdale-born Kieran O’Brien has been cast as Guy; Kenny Doughty (Sean in Sky TV’s Stella) is Gaz; Simon Rouse (DCI Jack Meadows in The Bill, a role he played for almost 20 years) is Gerald; and Sidney Cole (Macduff in Macbeth directed by Max Stafford Clarke and BBC1’s Absolutely Fabulous) is Horse. Scott Anson, Tracy Brabin, Caroline Carver, Eamonn Fleming, Elaine Glover, Rachel Lumberg and Ian Mercer complete the cast.

The production will also feature the iconic songs from the film and is directed by Sheffield Theatre’s artistic director Daniel Evans.
