Academy award-winning British screenwriter Simon Beaufoy was nominated for an Oscar for The Full Monty. The tour is directed by Michael Gyngell.
Simon Beaufoy said: “A lot has changed in Britain since The Full Monty appeared 30 years ago. What hasn’t changed is our need for laughter, compassion and dignity.
“I’m so delighted the Monty Men are back on the road with all their flaws, jokes and wobbly bits, bringing a bit of much-needed joy to audiences once again.”
About the show
The play tells the story of an ordinary group of men striving to reclaim their dignity and pride. Fast-paced and irresistibly funny, the play remains strikingly relevant today, resonating powerfully in an era marked once again by a cost-of-living crisis.

Gaz and his mates find themselves down on their luck, cast aside and underestimated but determined to fight back, even if it means revealing more than they ever imagined.
