A vibrant recreation of Belfast's docklands in the 1960s.Laced with whiskey, wit and ballsy humour, Dockers is a very Northern Irish play with a universal message. Working class hero John Graham struggles to bring equality and integrity to the brutal working environment of the Belfast docks. As one man's idealism confronts the tribal politics of the docks, a sobering and shocking turn of events brings the play to a climactic ending. 30th Anniversary Production. Martin Lynch’s critically acclaimed and popular play was first produced by the Lyric in 1981. It was pivotal in establishing a very Belfast brand, breaking new ground and opening a floodgate of creativity for local talent. Contains scenes of violence and mild language. Age 15+
