Boys From the Blackstuff

Gizza job. Go on, gizzit.

"80s Liverpool. Chrissie, Loggo, George, Dixie and Yosser are used to hard work and providing for their families. But there is no work and there is no money. What are they supposed to do? Work harder, work longer, buy cheaper, spend less? They just need a chance.

Life is tough but the lads can play the game. Find jobs, avoid the 'sniffers' and see if you can have a laugh along the way."

Originally a an award-winning TV series by Alan Bleasdale, screened in 1982, James Graham's "Boys from the Blackstuff" transfers from Liverpool's Royal Court Theatre for a West End run in 2024.
