Boys from the Blackstuff Summary

Boys from the Blackstuff by James Graham

Gizza job. Go on, gizzit, go head, giz it if youve got it, giz it, I can do it. Giz it then. Go head, gizza job. 80s' Liverpool. Chrissie, Loggo, George, Dixie and Yosser are used to hard work and providing for their families. But there is no work and there is no money. What are they supposed to do? Work harder, work longer, buy cheaper, spend less? They just need a chance. Life is tough but the lads can play the game. Find the jobs, avoid the sniffers' and see if you can have a laugh along the way. 40 years after Alan Bleasdales ground-breaking television series of the same name was essential viewing, this edition is published to coincide with the co-production between the Liverpool Royal Court and London's National Theatre, in April 2024.

About James Graham

James Graham is a multi award-winning playwright and screenwriter. His play This House gained critical acclaim, enjoyed a sell-out run at the National Theatres Olivier in 2013 and its 2017 West End revival was Olivier-nominated.
