Beautiful Thing
Giddy Ox presents: Beautiful Thing
Set during a heat wave on a rundown Thamesmead estate, Beautiful Thing follows Jamie, an introverted and troubled teen – whose dislike of football is reason enough for his classmates to bully him at every opportunity – and Ste, who is living with his drug-dealing brother and abusive, alcoholic father in the flat next door.
The boys’ relationship is helped along by Leah, a sassy, Mama Cass-obsessed neighbour and Sandra’s dippy neo-hippy lover, Tony, as they discover themselves, each other and a ‘Beautiful Thing’.
