Beautiful Thing - performances

‘Beautiful Thing’ is an incredibly funny yet poignant depiction of two teenage boys as they come to terms with their sexuality. Teenagers Ste and Jamie are next door neighbours on the Thamesmead estate in South London. Jamie’s being bullied at school and Ste’s being bullied at home. One evening when it all gets too much, Ste seeks refuge at Jamie’s and something frightening and beautiful begins.

The play that inspired the 90s Movie, offering a razor-sharp depiction of life and love on a council estate, and a gloriously nostalgic trip back to the early nineties to the wonderful soundtrack of Cass Elliott (Mama Cass). ‘Beautiful Thing' focusses on the challenges of being perceived as ‘different’, and a mother’s determination to support her child. Coronation Street writer Jonathan Harvey is at his insightful and hilarious best in this iconic story, reminding us how community can lift you out of suffering and isolation.
