Steel

Zusatztext

Two lads. Twelve hours. One million pounds. On the raindrenched West Cumbrian coast, James and Kamran have been mates for more than a decade. They're seventeen, so the world should be theirs ¿ but Workington is a ghost town, an unemployment blackspot where lasses drink Bacardi by the pint and boys don't cry. When James discovers he is heir to a single mile of the British railway network, the lads set out on a high-stakes chase through town, where annihilated aunties, Snakebite-drenched drag queens and a zombie Princess Diana are lying in wait. Lee Mattinson's Steel is a hilarious and heartfelt play about first loves, forging identities and the wild, wild hearts of teenage boys. It was first performed at Theatre by the Lake, Keswick, in 2024 followed by a UK tour. The production won the award for Excellence in Touring at the 2025 UK Theatre Awards.
