Directed by Theresa Heskins as part of our 25th anniversary celebrations, an important new theatre documentary from the multi award-winning writer dubbed “the woman changing the face of British theatre”. In the New Vic tradition, the dreams, ambitions and desires of North Staffordshire people staged in hilarious, touching and sometimes shocking word-for-word detail.
What’s to look forward to now the pits and the pot-banks have gone? How can you follow your dreams in a world without work?
In bathrooms and back-bedrooms across town, undiscovered stars are getting ready for their big chance. After a lifetime singing in the shower, maybe their 15 minutes of fame is just an audition away. And, for the charity shop worker, the young-mum and the boy from Bentilee, this could be the day that changes their lives forever. But never forget: for every winner there’s got to be a loser.
