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 14.3 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.
