In 1997, a BAFTA award-winning British film about six out-of-work Sheffield steelworkers with nothing to lose took the world by storm. And now they’re back, live on stage... only 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.
The Full Monty, based on the Fox Searchlight Pictures motion picture, was first performed on 2 February 2013 at the Lyceum Theatre, Sheffield. It transferred to the Noël Coward Theatre, London and opened on 25 February 2014, produced by David Pugh and Dafydd Robers.
