THE award-winning production of the Full Monty makes its way to Birmingham next week.

The production, based on the smash-hit film and adapted for the stage by Oscar-winning writer Simon Beaufoy, runs at the Birmingham Hippodrome between Monday (November 14) and Saturday, November 19.

The stellar cast includes Gary Lucy, Andrew Dunn, Louis Emerick, Chris Fountain, Kai Owen and Anthony Lewis.

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. Not only has the play been getting standing ovations every night, but it was also voted best touring production by the UK Theatre Awards.

Jack Ryder directs the Full Monty and his credits include national tours of Tim Firth’s play Calendar Girls and the short film Act of Memory. Although, Jack is probably best known for his role as Jamie Mitchell in BBC soap EastEnders.
