The ensemble cast features new talent including Geoff Breton, Nicholas Shaw and Rasmus Hardiker, alongside established names Sarah Lancashire, Hugo Speer, Mark Williams and Kevin Doyle. Ben, Doug and Philip attend King William’s School, a middle-class institution that’s set to give them a start in life that their parents never had.Aspiring writer Ben lusts after “posh” Cicely Boyd, Doug flies the flag for socialism and prog-rock lover Philip is desperate to start his own band. Ben’s dad Colin is in middle management at Leyland’s Longbridge works, while Doug’s shop-steward father Bill is a dedicated trade union man. Philip’s bus driver dad Sam and housewife mum Barbara seem happy, but does Barbara want more from life? The Rotters’ Club is a tragi-comic blend of the personal and the political, taking in everything from strike action to the delights of first love.A tale not just of individuals but of an entire era, it is enriched by a real sense of life in the Seventies.
