The Midlands most successful playwright of this century Malcolm Stent takes his wonderful show Go And Play Up Your Own End on the road.
It was a phrase heard a lot when we were little boys growing up in the 50's working-class areas on opposing sides of the city, whose craftsmen built carriages of The Orient Express, motorbikes which broke world speed records, motor cars for the gentry, aircraft, guns, tanks and fine jewellery to adorn the world's well-to-do.
In those days Birmingham and the West Midlands were known as the workshop of the world, anything of value that could be bashed out of a bit of metal was made here. How times have changed, but thankfully the pragmatic Brummie and Black Country spirit and ingenuity remains.
And that, in a nutshell, is the plot of our show; a group of neighbours fight against the odds to re-build their lives, relationships, and the city of their birth in a Britain bankrupt by two world wars.
The story is told with humour and song by some of the regions most loved actors and a bloke from the West End musicals in London.
