The Midlands most successful playwright of this century Malcolm Stent brings his wonderful show ‘Go And Play Up Your Own End’ to Redditch.

‘Go and play up your own end’ was a phrase heard a lot by little boys growing up in working-class areas on opposing sides of the city, whose craftsmen built the carriages of The Orient Express, motorbikes that 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 the 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 shows in London.
