A vibrant recreation of Belfast's docklands in the 1960s.Laced with whiskey, wit and ballsy humour, Dockers is a very Northern Irish play with a universal message. Working class hero John Graham struggles to bring equality and integrity to the brutal working environment of the Belfast docks. As one man's idealism confronts the tribal politics of the docks, a sobering and shocking turn of events brings the play to a climactic ending.
