Ă propos de ce livre
In 1997, a BAFTA award-winning British film about six out of work Sheffield steelworkers with nothing to lose took the world by storm. And now they're back, live on stage, only for them, it really has to be The Full Monty. Simon Beaufoy, the Oscar-winning writer of the film, has now gone back to Sheffield where it all started to rediscover the men, the women, the heartache and the hilarity of a city on the dole. The Full Monty was the winner of the UK Theatre Best Touring Production award 2013.

Informations
Act One
A huge, rusting roller door stands closed on the front edge of the stage. Through the perforations in the door we can make out the silhouettes of clanking machinery guiding tons of metal into place and the red fire of a roaring furnace.
We hear snatches of captured sound: a montage. A plummy BBC voice tells us of the Sheffield steel made for the battleships of World War Two, a few lines of Harold Wilsonâs âwhite heat of technologyâ speech. The montage is moving forward in time to BBC reportage of steel strikes, industrial unrest. Sir Keith Josephâs speeches, âLabour isnât workingâ, unemployment being a âprice worth payingâ, and finally, Margaret Thatcher; âYou turn if you want to. This ladyâs not for turningâŠâ
The sounds fade as the front door rolls up revealing not a vibrant, working factory, but the desolate remains of a steelworks full of abandoned clutter â later to be used as props and furniture. An enormous, rusting blue crane hangs above the floor.
A pigeon flutters through a gap in the roof. Water drips from a leaking pipe, a bit of broken guttering creaks in the wind. Other than that, silence.
SCENE 1
GAZ, DAVE and NATHAN are preset on the ledge. Suddenly, four panes halfway up the back window of the steel works shatter impressively. A face peers through. Looks left and right. Signals to someone out of sight.
GAZ: Nope. Nobody. Go on. You first.
A boyâs face now appears at the smashed window. NATHAN.
NATHAN: (Appalled.) Me?
GAZ: Youth before beauty. In âolden days, youâd be going up a bloody chimney.
NATHAN: Iâm freezing.
GAZ: There you are then. Bit of exerciseâll warm you up.
NATHAN: DadâŠ
GAZ: Youâll be reet. Dave did a full Health and Safety Assessment, didnât you, Dave?
A face appears at the empty circle in another pane of glass left by a missing extractor fan. DAVE. He turns his head to address them.
DAVE: I checked no bugger were looking if thatâs what you mean.
NATHAN: Why canât you go first?
DAVE: I donât bloody fit, do I?
GAZ: In you go, thereâs a good lad.
Reluctantly, NATHAN crawls through the window and onto the metal gantry of the crane.
GAZ: Coast Clear?
NATHAN: Yes.
GAZ follows. GAZ leads NATHAN across to front gantry where he stands as GAZ goes down the metal steps.
NATHAN: You could get six months for this, you know.
GAZ: Six months what?
NATHAN: Jail. For breaking and entering.
DAVE: Nice that he takes an interest in your criminal career.
GAZ: (Proudly.) Weâre just having a gander, kid. See whatâs what.
GAZ goes over to a panel on the wall. Pulls a huge fuse handle. The steelworks is suddenly illuminated in all its dilapidated grandeur.
GAZ: Hell nay. Look at the place. Listen to the place.
NATHAN: Canât hear owt.
GAZ: What I mean. Get yourself down âere.
NATHAN goes down the metal steps to GAZ.
GAZ: You couldnât hear yoursen think in âere for the noise of the rollers. Never heard nowt like it. Hundreds of tons of red hot metal being flattened. Why Grandad was deaf as a bloody post. We had us own sign language. Had to. And the heat coming out of thereâd melt your boots. There were this time sommut fell off the roof into âfurnace. White hot metal flying across the shop like a bomb had gone off. Went straight through that lad Billy Ogden â remember that, Dave?
DAVE: Aye.
GAZ: You could see right through him. What were left of him.
DAVE: When youâre done with your cheery stroll down memory lane, this ladderâsâŠslipping.
There is a yell as DAVE falls off the ladder, followed by the splintering of glass as a large man lands. It sounds terminal.
GAZ: Dave!
GAZ runs for the back door, unbolts it. Miraculously, DAVE is standing there.
DAVE: Iâm from the Jehovahâs Witnesses, may I have a word?
GAZ: Youâre not gonna like this.
DAVE walks in. Stares up at the crane, genuinely pained.
DAVE: Oh, MargaretâŠ
He hurries up to the crane. NATHAN sits fascinated by the TV monitors.
NATHAN: Who?
GAZ: The crane. Margaret. Named after our Glorious Leader, Mrs Thatcher.
DAVE: The Blue Bitch. Look at that. The...
