⭐ BEAUTIFUL THING BY JONATHAN HARVEY – 30TH ANNIVERSARY REVIVAL ANNOUNCED FOR THEATRE ROYAL STRATFORD EAST ⭐
A new revival of Jonathan Harvey’s Beautiful Thing has been announced for Theatre Royal Stratford East.
Teenage boys Ste and Jamie are neighbours on a South London estate. Jamie is more knowledgeable about the Sound of Music than football, while classmate Ste never misses a sports day. Both are being bullied, Jamie at school and Ste at home by his violent father and brother. One night, when things get too much, Ste seeks refuge in Jamie’s flat and, sharing a bed, the boys strike up a new relationship. Together they come to terms with their sexuality and explore their feelings alongside their Mama Cass loving, rebellious friend Leah and with the much-needed emotional support of Jamie’s lioness mother, Sandra.
Cast and creatives to be announced at a later date.
This 30th-anniversary revival of Jonathan Harvey’s iconic, coming-out and coming-of-age story set in the nineties, is about community, friendship, rites of passage and what it is to be 16 and in love.
Beautiful Thing is a touching, urban love story, full of warmth and humour. Written by Jonathan Harvey and directed by Anthony Simpson-Pike.
Beautiful Thing will play Theatre Royal Stratford East, running from 8th September – 7th October 2023, with tickets on sale now.
Wonderful! ! !
