Chester and Wrexham theatre company to go The Full Monty

Tip Top Productions will bring the iconic show to Theatr Clwyd, following the sell-out success of Come From Away at Storyhouse.

Their latest production, The Full Monty, runs from Wednesday, June 10, to Saturday, June 13, with evening performances at 7.30pm and a Saturday matinee at 2.30pm.

Set in Sheffield amid the decline of the steel industry, The Full Monty is a funny, touching and deeply human story about friendship, pride, survival and finding hope when life takes an unexpected turn.

The stage version, written by Simon Beaufoy and adapted from his original 1997 film, received its world premiere at the Lyceum Theatre in Sheffield in 2013 prior to a UK tour.

The show subsequently made its West End debut at the Noel Coward Theatre in 2014.

Peter Swingler OBE, director of the Tip Top Productions staging, said: "The company is thrilled by the response so far.

"After the incredible support we received for Come From Away, it’s wonderful to see audiences once again getting behind live theatre in such huge numbers.

"Demand for tickets has already been exceptional, with more than 2,000 seats sold and performances rapidly filling up with still a few weeks remaining before opening night.

"The Full Monty is far more than people expect.

"Yes, it’s very funny, but underneath the comedy is a powerful and truthful story about ordinary people trying to hold onto their dignity and self-worth during difficult times.

"It feels just as relevant today as when it was first written."

This production of The Full Monty features a large local cast and creative team, continuing Tip Top’s tradition of delivering high-quality community theatre to North Wales audiences.
