From Tues 18 Mar 2025 View Venues, Dates & Times

Television viewers of a certain vintage are likely to remember Boys From The Blackstuff and the impact that it made. 

Alan Bleasdale’s bleak, Liverpool-located, award-winning seminal drama series from 1982 followed the trials and tribulations of five out-of-work tarmac layers struggling to make ends meet in an era of high unemployment. The series made a star of actor Bernard Hill, whose portrayal of mentally disintegrating headbutter Yosser Hughes - complete with his catchphrase of “Gizza job. Go on, gizza job. I can do that” - captured the nation’s imagination... 

This powerful new stage adaptation of Bleasdale’s iconic masterpiece is visiting the region direct from the National Theatre and London West End.
