The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists

Synopsis/Company

Tressell's iconic Edwardian novel evokes a year in the lives of a team of builders as they struggle to survive on the breadline. Humour is never very far away as Tressell satirises the scams and tricks of the trade - still familiar to householders today - used by skinflint bosses to save time and money. A two handed version by Stephen Lowe.
