Boys from the Blackstuff 2025 tour

Bill Kenwright Ltd presents the  

Liverpool’s Royal Court and National Theatre production of 

Alan Bleasdale’s BOYS FROM THE BLACKSTUFF
by James Graham 

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.     

James Graham’s powerful new adaptation of Alan Bleasdale’s BAFTA award-winning TV series is directed by Kate Wasserberg and heads out on tour across the UK in 2025 direct from the National Theatre and the West End.
