Description

I, Daniel Blake by Dave Johns and Paul Laverty is a powerful stage adaptation that explores the lives of two individuals struggling to cope with the UK's welfare system. Dan, a carpenter from Newcastle, has recently survived a heart attack, while Katie, a young mother, has just secured a council flat in London. As they navigate their new circumstances, they must confront the harsh realities of poverty and the system that seeks to control them. This poignant drama is based on the critically acclaimed film of the same name, which won the Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2016. The stage adaptation, co-produced by tiny dragon Productions, Northern Stage, Birmingham Rep and ETT, in association with Cardboard Citizens, offers a fresh perspective on the struggles faced by those living in poverty. With its insightful script and powerful performances, I, Daniel Blake is a gut-wrenching tragicomic drama that sheds light on the unbreakable social bonds of so-called "broken Britain".
