Production Photo from I, Daniel Blake. An actor is stood in the centre of the stage on a school table, he hands are up in the air and he is holding a spray paint can. Behind him is a billboard with the following text spray painted on it: 'I, Daniel Blake demand my appeal date before I starve'. In front of him is a man cheering him on. A purple light shines on them.

I, Daniel Blake

This event has passed

I, Daniel Blake adapted by Dave Johns from the film directed by Ken Loach, written by Paul Laverty, and produced by Rebecca O’Brien for Sixteen Films.

Dan is a carpenter.  A Geordie through and through.  Just on the mend after a heart attack.

Katie has just arrived from London. Finally got a council house for her and the kids.  A fresh start.

I, Daniel Blake is one of the most important stories of a generation.  A glimpse behind the headlines and the stark reality of what happens when the political system is stacked against you.  With 14.5 million* people living in poverty in the UK, this is not fiction.  It is reality.

A touching and vital story of how people come together in the face of adversity and how sometimes creating a family to support you just isn’t enough.  The show is adapted for stage by Dave Johns who played Daniel Blake in the award winning 2016 film.
