Glasgow, 1957. The slab boys - Phil, Spanky and Hector - apply themselves with awe-inspiring gusto to everything but their job - grinding up colours for the designers in the carpet factory. Phil knows that there's more to life than larking about and is preparing a portfolio to get a place at the Glasgow Art School.
The Slab Boys premiered at the Traverse Theatre in Edinburgh on 6 April 1978, before going on to be staged in Broadway in 1983 with a star-studded cast. A film version was released in 1997, starring Anna Massey, Tom Watson and Julie Wilson Nimmo.

Phil and Spanky explode onto the stage in a classic vaudeville double-act.

The older Scots among us will recall that The Slab Boys trilogy was once regarded as an icon of Scottish culture back in the 1970s full as it is of [alleged] Scottish wit in the Glasgow vernacular. The story centres on the irreverent back-chat of two lads working in the colour-mixing room (the slab room) of a carpet factory and how their lives pan out over the three plays.
