Critics take their hats off to THE FULL MONTY
Daniel Evans’ production of THE FULL MONTY has opened to unanimous critical acclaim at the Sheffield Lyceum Theatre. The new play by Simon Beaufoy based on his own Oscar-nominated screenplay to the hit 1997 film of the same name tells the story of Gaz (Kenny Doughty), an out of work Sheffield steelworker who puts together a rather unconventional male strip group to make some cash when he can’t afford to pay his child support. The feelgood comedy features hit music from the film and of course the infamous final scene where the boys reveal all when they go THE FULL MONTY!
The comedy tours the country until 18th May. For more details of dates, locations and to buy tickets click here.
