The Full Monty

Drop everything for The Full Monty, starring Manchester-born ex Corrie actor Craig Gazey and Bolton’s own Roger Morlidge, at The Lowry from Mon 15 – Sat 20 April.
 
In 1997, a British film about six out-of-work Sheffield steelworkers who had nothing to lose, took the world by storm taking $256 million worldwide and becoming one of the most successful British films ever made. And now, the boys are back, live on stage, only this time, for them, it really has to be….The Full Monty.

Simon Beaufoy, the Oscar winning writer of the film, has now gone back to Sheffield where it all started to rediscover the men, the women, the heartache and the hilarity of a city on the dole. This will be Simon Beaufoy’s first work for the theatre. His screen credits include winning the BAFTA for The Full Monty, 127 Hours, Salmon Fishing in Yemen and Slumdog Millionaire, for which he won a 2009 Academy Award.

The production will also feature the iconic songs from the film by Donna Summer, Rod Stewart, Hot Chocolate and Tom Jones. The Full Monty is directed by Sheffield Theatre’s Artistic Director Daniel Evans. Design is by Robert Jones, whose recent credits include Calendar Girls, Much Ado About Nothing starring Catherine Tate and David Tennant, Hamlet (Royal Shakespeare Company) and Rock’n’Roll (Royal Court, West End and Broadway). Choreography is by Steven Hoggett (Black Watch), lighting by Tim Lutkin, sound by Ben and Max Ringham, with casting by Sarah Bird.

This Sheffield Theatres production is presented by DAVID PUGH & DAFYDD ROGERS, the multi-award winning producers of Art, Brief Encounter, God of Carnage and Calendar Girls.
