Working Class Hero

by Ben Standish

Edinburgh

4–26 August 2018

Infirmary Street, Greenside

A father and his son. A son and his father. Ten snapshots over one hundred days. Football, politics, John Lennon, education, Akala, humility. How do we cope with losing the things we love? What if we know it’s for a good reason? What if we know it isn’t? During his first semester at university, a son realises that his father is a person just like the rest of us. A person who makes mistakes. A person who struggles. A person who dreams of a better life and a better world for him and his son. Working Class Hero is a story of understanding and discovery, and of growing up with the belief that we are all special.

Show Materials

It is brilliantly engineered and yet a thick slice of plain life, like a Dutch kitchen scene that shows no hint of the skill that had put it on the canvas. Tychy: https://tychy.wordpress.com/2018/08/21/tychy-the-fringe-working-class-hero/
An insufficient level of tension to be dramatic and not enough of everything else to be interesting. Broadway Baby: https://broadwaybaby.com/shows/working-class-hero/734019
Politics and music run through the play and there are some interesting observations that show that while political music has evolved since Lennon’s time the fundamentals remain the same. The Reviews Hub: https://www.thereviewshub.com/working-class-hero-greenside-infirmary-street-edinburgh/
