Billy Liar tells the story of Billy Fisher, a man less than inspired by his job as an undertaker’s clerk in a dull Yorkshire town. He escapes his humdrum existence by daydreaming his way to a mythical fantasy kingdom where Billy becomes ruler, hero and lover. He has aspirations as a script writer in the big city, but his over-eager imagination leads him to tell constant tall stories which create havoc in his work, family and romantic life. His hilarious exploits eventually lead him to make a difficult decision…

Helen Fraser, who starred as Barbara in the original film of Billy Liar, returns to play Billy’s mother.
