THE FLAGS
23 October 2007 to 10 November 2007
Royal Exchange Theatre

“We’re Lifeguards. We’re supposed to save people, JJ. We’re … we’re not supposed to … to worry about a few fecking cold splashes"

JJ and Howie are life guards on the second worst beach in Ireland. The job running the BEST beach in the country is unexpectedly vacant and these two are determined to clean up their acts and get the job. The trouble is JJ and Howie are not very good at being lifeguards. In fact, they’re alarmingly bad…
The Flags is re-mounted in the Theatre, following sell-out success in The Studio last year, via the Dublin Festival.

THE FLAGS was the winner of three Manchester Evening News Theatre Awards in 2006 for best studio production, best performance in a studio production (for the whole cast) and best design.
