Here’s some blurb:

‘Anyone can paint’

In the early 1930s, a group of miners at an art appreciation class were given paints and brushes, and set about recording their lives – underground, on the allotment, at the local club. As a play about the ‘pitmen painters’ opens at the National Theatre, William Feaver shows how, on canvas, the workers became their own boss

‘The Pitmen Painters, in Max Roberts’ perfectly pitched and acted production, manages to be tragic, funny and illuminating in one fell swoop of energy.’
Evening Standard

‘Breathtaking in its scope, Lee Hall’s remarkable play provides a fascinating debate about art and socialism.’
Guardian

‘Lee Hall’s new play and Max Roberts’ sublime production are ablaze with intellectual vigour, political passion and incendiary emotional energy. A beautiful work of art that everybody should see.’
The Times

‘A wonderful piece of theatre: comic, sad and stirring in the same breath.’
Financial Times

Details for the evening are as follows:

6pm FREE drinks at the Oxo Tower, South Bank, SE1 9GY

7.30pm watch the play!

10.30pm go to FREE boat party on the Thames right opposite the National Theatre

Hometime? Whenever you start feeling old!
