HI! Productions • Professional company
About the show
The Naked Neds is a new play from HI! Productions, inspired by real events and following a group of Glasgow lads facing loss, life and NHS waiting lists. Paul is about to become a father, but doubt clouds his excitement. When a night at the pub fails to shake the unspoken grief surrounding a friend's suicide, the group throws itself into fundraising in his memory. Then Paul finds a lump, and fatherhood becomes the least of his concerns. With nothing left to lose, the lads decide to bare all. The show runs for 65 minutes at Grand Theatre and is strictly for audiences aged 18 and over.
Why see this show?
A raw, funny and deeply human story about male friendship, grief and what it takes to keep going. Inspired by real events, this Glasgow lads' tale earns its laughs and its heartbreak in equal measure.
