In 1997, a British film about six out-of-work Sheffield steelworkers
with nothing to lose, took the world by storm becoming one of the most
successful British films ever made. The story still resonates today,
probably more so now than ever.
Simon Beaufoy, the Oscar- and BAFTA-winning writer of the film, has
adapted his own screenplay for this hilarious and heartfelt stage production,
which features the iconic songs from the film by Donna Summer, Hot
Chocolate and Tom Jones.
THE FULL MONTY is Simon Beaufoy’s first work for the
theatre. His screen credits include The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,
Salmon Fishing in Yemen, 127 Hours and Slumdog
Millionaire, as well as The Full Monty.
The UK Tour of THE FULL MONTY is directed by Jack Ryder. His
directing credits include national tours of Calendar Girlsand the
short film Act of Memory with Claire Skinner, Owen Teale and
Anna Massey, which was officially selected for nine international festivals
around the world including the Cannes Film Festival. As an actor, Jack is
probably best known as Jamie Mitchell in EastEnders, a role he
played for four years.
Design is by Robert Jones, choreography by Ian West, lighting
by Tim Lutkin and sound by Sarah Weltman, with casting by Marc Frankum.
The 2016/17 UK Tour of Simon Beaufoy’s THE FULL MONTY, based on the Fox
Searchlight Pictures motion picture, is presented by David Pugh & Dafydd
Rogers and is a Sheffield Theatres production.
