Ulster Bank Dublin Theatre Festival - The Pitmen Painters

Directed by Max Roberts, The Pitmen Painters is a critically acclaimed smash-hit written by Tony and Olivier Award-winner Lee Hall (Billy Elliot). It tells the story of how in 1934, a group of Ashington miners hired a professor to teach an art appreciation evening class. Rapidly abandoning theory in favour of practice, the pitmen began to paint. Within a few years the most avant-garde artists became their friends and their work was acquired by prestigious collections; but every day they worked, as before, down the mine. Winner of the Evening Standard Best New Play award, this humorous, deeply moving production takes a timely look at art, class and politics, demonstrating how a seemingly ordinary group of men can do extraordinary things. The Pitmen Painters runs in the Gaiety Theatre from October 4th - 10th 2009.
