OTTC's Ragged Trousered Philanthropists in rehearsal

Based on Robert Tressell's classic novel of the same name, this powerful and edgy drama tells the story of a group of painters and decorators struggling for survival in small town Edwardian England.

Bullied by their employer through his ruthless works foreman, the men get by on humour and pride in their craft.

Can one of their fellow workers, craftsman/artist and visionary Owen, persuade them that the means to a better life is in their hands?
