Steelworks Theatre Company’s The Fulstow
Boys tours across the North East in September.
Stockton’s ARC has announced that
Steelworks Theatre Company return in September with the first performances of
award-winning writer Gordon Steel’s brand new show, The Fulstow Boys. Produced
in association with South Shields’ The Customs House, The Fulton Boys is a
powerful, poignant, and hilarious play based on a true story. It will tour to include both the Customs
House and Hull Truck theatres.
About The Fulstow Boys:
When
Sky News and the rest of the world’s press descend on a small village in
Lincolnshire, all hell breaks loose as they ask: Why doesn’t the village have a
war memorial, and what are they going to do about it?
Determined
to right a wrong that has been hanging over Fulstow since the First World War,
the tenacious Nicola Pike leads the village committee in making a decision that
threatens to tear the community apart: but Graham is desperate to cure his
constipation; Maurice’s back is playing up; and Moira is furious that someone
else has been asked to make the chocolate cake at the forthcoming fete.
Set
across two time frames the tale of a village’s monumental decision is both
heart-breaking and hilarious.
