Spanning the 1950s to the 70s, the plays capture the rebellious
mood of a post-war generation growing up to a backdrop of James
Dean, Elvis, sharp-suited glamour, hope and despair. 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. Phil and
Spanky explode onto the stage in a classic vaudeville double-act.
Now considered one of Scotland's defining literary works of the
twentieth century, the Slab Boys Trilogy premiered at the Traverse
back in the late 1970s and early 80s taking Scotland, then Britain,
and then Broadway quickly by storm. The Traverse revived the Slab
Boys Trilogy for the theatre's fortieth anniversary in November
2003.
