SUMMARY:The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists at the Tyneside Irish Centre
DESCRIPTION:Neil Gore’s brilliant one man show returns to Tyneside Irish Centre on 24th March 2023\nThe Ragged Trousered Philanthropists  adapted by Neil Gore from the book by Robert Tressell\, directed by Louise Townsend \nNeil Gore\, presents a one-person version of the classic novel by Robert Tressell featuring projection\, political conjuring tricks\, live music and song. Meet the famous characters and enjoy the scenes\, speeches and songs\, featuring the Great Money Trick as its centrepiece. \nThis enduring and absorbing classic story of a year in the life of a group of Edwardian painters and decorators is brought to life by Neil Gore using his extensive knowledge of the book and the play\, having performed it in many versions over forty years. \n‘The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists’ follows a group of workers as they renovate ‘The Cave’\, a three-storey town house\, for Mayor Sweater. It traces their hardships and struggles for survival in a complacent and stagnating Edwardian England.  \nThese workers are the ‘philanthropists’ who throw themselves into back-breaking work for poverty wages in order to generate profit for their masters. They are joined by artist Owen\, whose spirited attacks on the dishonesty of Capitalism along with his Socialist vision\, highlights the exploitation in their workplace but also focuses on the inequality in society as a whole. \nTickets £15\, £10 concesssions.-  available on Eventbrite:  https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/518591379777 or contact us on 0191 261 0385 or at tyneirishcs@gmail.com
