Jonathan Harvey's landmark play Beautiful Thing is the next production to be released by Digital Theatre. Yesterday, Digital Theatre released its first trailer from Beautiful Thing. Celebrating its 20th anniversary year, Digital Theatre captured Beautiful Thing during its acclaimed run at the West End's Arts Theatre. The production also travelled to Liverpool Playhouse, West Yorkshire Playhouse and the Theatre Royal, Brighton before finishing its tour earlier this month. Click below to watch the trailer!
Directed by Nikolai Foster and with designs by Colin Richmond, Beautiful Thing stars SurAnne Jones, Zaraah Abrahams and Oliver Farnworth, with Jake Davies and Danny-Boy Hatchard as Jamie and Ste. It was produced in the West End and on tour by Tom O'Connell for QNQ Ltd.
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. The play exquisitely depicts what it is to be sixteen, in the first flush of love, and full of optimism.
