When a complete cast from London's West End, comes across the pond to perform Broadway you have to really take note.  And that's what happened with The Pitmen Painters.  So Ephman's ears totally propped up, like a Doberman.

Something so amazing about the way that playwright Lee Hall takes common character types and have them do truly amazing uncommon things.  See Ephman takes to Broadway the same strategy he takes rock climbing.  It's called onsite.  He never really likes to know a plot before he sees it.  Just like he never likes to know a route until he climbs it.

With that said eventhough Ephman works for a "Wall Street" firm, he really just thinks of himself as a working class man.  And that's what this play is about.  It's the classic working class to success story.  Just like Lee Hall's other play Billy Elliot.  And if you loved Billy as much as Ephman did, then there's a good bet you're going to like The Pitmen. 

The credit to this story actually goes to William Feaver.  Because without his imagination and his novel this story would never have been thought of.

Watchout for the review because you totally know Ephman's going to write it.
