71 Coltman Street

Mike Bradwell is on a mission to revolutionise British theatre. He's sick of fancy plays by dead blokes and wants to tell stories about real people, living real lives. And it doesn't get more real than Hull. In a freezing cold house on Coltman Street, a motley crew of unemployed actors gather to improvise a play with no name, no plot, no budget and no bookings. Richard Bean's hilarious and irreverent comedy takes us back to the 1970s and Hull Truck Theatre's origin story. It is a roaring combination of comedy, cabaret, farce and drama--back cover.
