Information for Boys from the Blackstuff at Mercury Theatre, Colchester (Play). Alan Bleasdale's TV series brought to the stage. This is 80s Liverpool. Chrissie, Loggo, George, Dixie and Yosser are used to hard work and providing for their families. But there is no work and there is no money. What are they supposed to do? Work harder, work longer, buy cheaper, spend less? They just need a chance. Life is tough but the lads can play the game. Find the jobs, avoid the 'sniffers' and see if you can have a laugh along the way. By arrangement with Bill Kenwright Limited
