Synopsis

‘I, Daniel Blake, am a citizen, nothing more, nothing less.’

Dan is a carpenter. A Geordie through and through. He had a heart attack recently, but he’s on the mend now.

Katie has just arrived from London. She’s finally got a council flat, somewhere for her and her daughter, Daisy. A fresh start.

In adversity, people come together. But when the system is stacked against you, how does anyone get by? With 14.5 million people* living in poverty in the UK, this is not fiction. It is reality.

I, Daniel Blake was originally a film – directed by Ken Loach, written by Paul Laverty and produced by Rebecca O’Brien for Sixteen Films – which won the 2016 Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. This touching and vital stage adaptation by Dave Johns, who played Dan in the film, toured the UK in 2023, co-produced by tiny dragon Productions, Northern Stage, Birmingham Rep and ETT, in association with Cardboard Citizens.
