Billy Liar
Billy Fisher is less than inspired with his job as an undertaker’s clerk in a dull Yorkshire town. He escapes his humdrum existence by daydreaming his way to a mythical fantasy kingdom where Billy becomes ruler, hero and lover! He has aspirations as a script writer in the big city, but his over-eager imagination leads him to tell constant tall stories which create havoc in his work, family and romantic life!
His hilarious exploits eventually lead him to make a difficult decision…
This charming, warm, witty and sensitive comic masterpiece is compelling viewing for all ages. Albert Finney made a legendary West-End success of Billy in 1960, while he was immortalised by Tom Courtenay in the classic 1963 film.
