Preview: The Full Monty, Mayflower Theatre, Southampton

The brand new production of Simon Beaufoy’s award-winning hit play The Full Monty visits Mayflower Theatre from Tuesday 7 to Saturday 11 November.

This fast and funny play is still very much of our time, as once again we are hit by a cost-of-living crisis.

Gaz and his mates are down on their luck and feel they have been thrown on the scrap heap, but they are determined to fight back and bare a little more than they ever thought they would have to.

As in the 1997 smash hit film, this brand-new production is a rollercoaster ride of ups and downs, laughs and heartbreak.

Danny Hatchard, best known for playing Lee Carter in Eastenders, will star as Gaz, alongside Jake Quickenden (The X Factor, Dancing on Ice, Hollyoaks) as Guy, Bill Ward (Coronation Street’s Charlie Stubbs) as Gerald, Neil Hurst (Coronation Street, Casualty, Doctors) as Dave, Ben Onwukwe (Coronation Street, Marcella, Eastenders) as Horse and Nicholas Prasad (Doctors, Eastenders) as Lomper.

The Full Monty marks the first co-production and partnership between the Everyman Theatre Cheltenham and Buxton Opera House, which recently became an Arts Council National Portfolio Organisation.

Directed by Michael Gyngell, The Full Monty has choreography and intimacy direction is by Ian West, Set and Costume design is by Jasmine Swan with Lighting design by Andrew Exeter and Sound design by Chris Whybrow. The Casting Director is Marc Frankum.

Tickets for The Full Monty (Tuesday 7– Saturday 11 November 2023) are on sale at mayflower.org.uk or 02380 711811.
