Synopsis: In 1997, a BAFTA award-winning British film about six out-of-work Sheffield steelworkers with nothing to lose took the world by storm. And now they're back, live on stage ... only for them, it really has to be The Full Monty. Simon Beaufoy, the Oscar-winning writer of the film, has now gone back to Sheffield where it all started to rediscover the men, the women, the heartache and the hilarity of a city on the dole.
