Back by popular demand, the boys are returning with a major national tour! There are no heroes in Simon Beaufoy’s heartfelt play, just a group of lads trying to regain their dignity and pride. This fast and funny play is still very much of our time, as again we are hit by a cost-of-living crisis. Gaz and his mates are down on their luck and feel they have been thrown on the scrap heap, but they are determined to fight back and bare a little more than they ever thought they would have to. As in the 1997 smash hit film, this production is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, laughs and heartbreak. Book now to relive the music of the 90s and have a great night out in the company of our group of lads as they work to put on the show of their lives.
