My stage adaptation of "I, Daniel Blake" opens in Tokyo, Japan with an all Japanese cast. Directed by Kemjiro Otani, it premieres on the 22nd September 2025.
It is astonishing to think how far and wide our little play has travelled. From award-winning film to critically acclaimed stage play in the North East of England.
Watch out for a revival of the play at Northern Stage, followed by a UK tour in March 2026.
