Choose options
Lee Hall’s brilliant contemporary drama 'The Pitman Painters' arrived at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre in 2010 under the auspices of Manhattan Theatre Club, running for an accomplished seasonal residency following its hit West End run under the banner of the Royal National Theatre. Based on the true biographical literature book by William Feaver, the textually rich narrative follows a tight-knit group of blue-collar British coal miners in 1934 who hire an academic lecturer for an art appreciation class, accidentally discovering their own genius as painters. Directed by Max Roberts.
