THE STORY: Daniel Blake is your average middle-aged next-door neighbor—always willing to lend a hand or to tell you the proper rules for the communal cans when you take out your rubbish. A former tradesman, he has been sidelined due to heart issues and is now caught in a catch 22: He cannot receive relief without applying for work but his doctor won't clear him. While at the relief office, Daniel meets a young mother and daughter in dire straits, and he decides to help them after the government refuses to. This stage adaptation of the Palm d’Or- and BAFTA-winning film of the same name highlights the hope, desperation, and personal kindness of three people who are striving to do the best for themselves and each other.
