About This Event

The Sunderland Empire is set to host a captivating stage adaptation of the much-loved film, The Full Monty, penned by Simon Beaufoy. This must-see production rolls into town on Monday 17 May, with the curtain rising at 6:30pm. Audiences will be treated to the familiar and heartwarming tale of six Sheffield steelworkers, thrown into unemployment by the closure of their local factory. Faced with bleak prospects, they embark on an unconventional path to financial salvation: forming a male striptease act. Beyond the undeniable humour and daring performances, the play delves deeply into themes of resilience and the enduring strength of community. It paints a vivid picture of ordinary people finding extraordinary ways to cope with economic downturns and the challenges of modern life. This touring production promises an evening of laughter, poignancy, and ultimately, a celebration of the human spirit. Tickets for this unmissable event are available from a very accessible £15.
