“All of life is chucked here”
It’s 1986 and we are in the middle of Thatcher’s Britain but this road and its
inhabitants, living in the grip of poverty, could be anywhere at any time.
Guided by the wild and wonderful Scullery, we are taken on a trip down ‘our road’ to
meet some of the characters who live there, surviving, drinking, crying and laughing
their way through their days and nights, all searching for something more, something
different.
Jim Cartwright’s award winning play is raucous, funny, cruel and chaotic. It contains
a visceral, eloquent poetry which portrays a tough world with a deep and powerful
tenderness and hope.
Warnings – Contains strong language and adult themes
