Full Monty
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 was the winner of the UK Theatre Best Touring Production award 2013.
The Full Monty was Simon Beaufoy’s first screenplay. It went on to be nominated for four Academy Awards as well as winning a BAFTA for Best Film in 1997. His other screenplays include the Oscar-winning Slumdog Millionaire, Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day, 127 Hours, the climate change drama Burn Up, and most recently an adaptation of the novel, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. He is currently adapting the epic poem "Sharp Teeth" and writing an original screenplay, First We Take Manhattan.
