The Slab Boys

Work:: The Slab Boys (S577440101)

In the technicolour confines of the slab room of A. F. Stobo & Co. Carpet Factory in Paisley, young boys have to grow up fast. Strutting adolescent double act Phil and Spanky are passing the time with an endless verbal tug o' war and merciless ribbing of their workmates and boss. But even the distractions of the annual staff dance, the monthly pay packet or the unattainable Lucille can't stop Phil from dreaming of becoming an artist. One of the best-loved works in twentieth-century Scottish theatre, John Byrne's funny and poignant play paints a vivid picture of the tough, rebellious, working-class culture of 1950s industrial Scotland.
