Will they give us the Full Monty?

The 1997 film of The Full Monty was an unexpected international hit when it was released, so there’s high hopes the Luton Light version will be just as well received, albeit on a smaller scale.

Tickets are now on sale to see Luton Light tell the story of six steelworkers who are laid off from the Sheffield mills and struggle to deal with a range of problems.

The unemployed men are low on both cash and prospects and decide to present an all-male strip act at a local club after seeing their wives’ enthusiasm for a touring company of professionals.

Although a comedy, The Full Monty addresses serious subjects such as depression, homosexuality and fathers’ rights, topics which will no doubt resonate with today’s audience 15 years on from the original film.

Award-winning company Luton Light’s version of The Full Monty is ‘all-singing, all-dancing and all-stripping’ – let’s just hope these blokes don’t suffer from stage fright.

At the Grove Theatre in Dunstable from July 18 - 21, for tickets call the box office on 01582 602080 or visit www.grovetheatre.co.uk.

Various discounts available for concessions and groups of ten or more.
