Beautiful Thing

Nikolai Foster’s celebrated anniversary production of Jonathan Harvey’s modern classic will make you laugh and cry in equal measure.

Beautiful Thing is a glorious urban love story between two young men. Set on an inner city housing estate, it tells the story of teenager Jamie’s relationship with classmate and neighbour, Ste. Together the two boys find comedy, warmth and the music of Mama Cass through their loud-mouthed next door neighbour Leah.

Multi-award winning actress Charlie Brooks, best known for her role as Janine Butcher in EastEnders, leads the cast with Thomas Law (EastEnders) starring as Ste and Sam Jackson (Skins) starring as Jamie.

This critically acclaimed award-winning play by Jonathan Harvey combines comedy with drama, truly capturing what it is to be a teenager and to fall in love.
