The Ragged Trousered Philanthropists

About the Show

Tressell’s iconic Edwardian novel evokes a year in the lives of a team of builders as they struggle to survive on the breadline. Humour is never very far away as Tressell satirises the scams and tricks of the trade – still familiar to householders today – used by skinflint bosses to save time and money.
