Billy Liar
4 September 2010  to 2 October 2010
Courtyard Theatre

A Guy. Three Girls. One Ring.

The ‘50s for Billy Fisher are far from hip. He’s still living at home and doing a dull job at the local undertakers. But Billy has his dreams, and they’re not just of becoming a movie star or winning the pools – he’s invented a whole country.



Back in the real world he’s less successful and has managed to get himself engaged to two girls simultaneously, neither of whom he likes, and is currently sharing one engagement ring between them. When Liz, the girl he really cares for, returns from London, Billy’s lies all start to catch him up and it’s time to think fast or finally face up to the truth.



The 50th Anniversary production of Keith Waterhouse and Willis Hall’s play about adolescence, rebellion and – just possibly – growing up.
