The Full Monty - The Play by Simon Beaufoy

The Full Monty - The Play by Simon Beaufoy tickets and regional UK dates

Simon Beaufoy’s The Full Monty follows Gaz and a group of men trying to recover their dignity after being left behind. This touring play marks thirty years since the film, with Kevin Clifton advertised as Gaz and a running time of two hours and twenty minutes.

The play and its premise

Beaufoy's play follows Gaz and a group of lads who, down on their luck and feeling discarded, resolve to fight back by staging a striptease. The characters are portrayed as ordinary men seeking to recover their dignity rather than as heroes, with comedy and heartbreak running alongside each other.

The producers draw a direct parallel between the post-industrial anxieties that informed the 1997 film and present cost-of-living pressures, framing that continuity of theme as central to this anniversary tour.

The production is presented by Everyman Theatre in Cheltenham and Buxton Opera House, working in association with producers Mark Goucher and David Pugh.

Advertised cast

Kevin Clifton, known for Strictly Come Dancing, is advertised as Gaz. Stewart Wright, whose credits include Doc Martin and The Upstart Crow at the Apollo Theatre, plays Dave. James Gaddas, familiar from Coronation Street and The Rocky Horror Picture Show UK Tour, takes the role of Gerald. Ben Onwukwe, who appeared in The Full Monty UK Tour 2024 and The Shawshank Redemption UK Tour, plays Horse. Jon-Paul Bell, known for Hollyoaks and Masters of Air, plays Guy, and Zrey Sholapurkar, whose stage work includes Lark Rise to Candleford at The Watermill Theatre and The History Boys UK Tour, plays Lomper.
