‘They want for working men to betray working men so they can say it wasn’t them.’
A quantity surveyor, a building contractor and a project manager walk onto a council estate. What starts as another routine site visit could become the day that defines the rest of their lives.
The world premiere of Benjamin Kuffuor’s George Devine Award-winning Working Men.
Benjamin Kuffour, Writer, said: “Working Men is a play about institutions and money. It speaks as much to the cost-of-living crisis as it does to the housing crisis. The play has had a long journey, but in many ways it feels like it might be arriving exactly when it’s supposed to. I did the Young Writers’ Programme back in 2008. It was the first theatre I connected with in a meaningful way, where I began buying plays and developing my own tastes. To be bringing my work here nearly twenty years later, to a theatre with such a rich history of being in conversation with the times, feels like the right place to capture and present the world of this play.”
Working Men plays at Jerwood Theatre Upstairs from Friday 4 June – Saturday 10 July 2027.
