About the Play. Spanning the 1950s to the 70s, the Slab Boys trilogy – The Slab Boys, Cuttin' a Rug and Still Life – capture the rebellious mood of a post-war generation growing up to a backdrop of James Dean, Elvis, sharp-suited glamour, hope and despair.
The slab boys By John Byrne. It is the wit of John Byrne's script which lingers in the memory. But there's so much more to this play, and the other two – 'Cuttin' a rug' and 'Still life' – which make up 'The slab boys trilogy'. Nostalgic but unsentimental, a grim reality lurked behind the boys’ bravado.
John Byrne takes the slab room he worked in and makes it pure theatre: the scams, the dreams, the aloof but gorgeous girl, the despair of life back home, the obligatory tormenting of the office 'weed', and the mandatory boy chat and pranks all help the day to pass.
