The adaptation of the 2016 film opened at the Playhouse last night
There was barely a dry eye inside Liverpool's Playhouse theatre as 'I, Daniel Blake' drew to a close.
READ MORE: Liverpool will 'have something to say' as play's defiance inspires 'anger and togetherness'In order to continue receiving benefits, Daniel must apply for job seekers’ allowance and look to return to work – against medical advice - while waiting for an appeal. As he struggles against a welfare system that is not working in his interests, he meets and bonds with single mother Katie, who has just moved to Newcastle from London with her daughter Daisy.
‘I, Daniel Blake’ wears its politics proudly on its sleeve. In a Liverpool theatre, it is very much preaching to the converted but that in no way diminishes its power. Daniel, his neighbour China, Katie and Daisy illustrate the importance of community and people's ability to rally around one another in tough times. Unfortunately, it is not enough. Daniel is a man out of time.
