October 05 - 31 • The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists at the Bussey building/CLF Art Cafe - A two handed version adapted by Neil Gore from the Stephen Lowe play based on Robert Tressell's classic book.
During our opening week the Wednesday October 7th show is our 2-4-1 special! For one night only 1x 'Ragged Trousered Philanthropists' ticket will be valid for 2x Theatre lovers at no additional cost.
Townsend Productions present this classic story of a group of painter-decorators who are joined by artist Owen, whose spirited attacks on the dishonesty of Capitalism, along with his Socialist vision, highlight exploitation in the workplace and inequality in society. Relevant still, this tale is told with vigour and passion.
This hugely successful production is a gem of Edwardian humorous theatre with songs and music of the time directed by folk legend John Kirkpatrick.
"A strong and robust show that brings the characters, humour and inspirational ideas of this great book to life. It is needed now more than ever. You'll leave the theatre and join the struggle!"
Ken Loach, Film Director.
