After his release, George joins the freedom fighters of the International Brigade to fight for the democratically elected government of Spain against Francos Fascist coup. After his mission he finds himself trapped in a Villa with two other brigadiers, Murphy & Kieran and three Spanish Republicans. They are outnumbered and surrounded, with no way out.

Notes: | - | |||||
Synopsis: | This is a play about an inner city youth club and the freshness a new member of staff, Dan Billington, brings to the club. Established members of staff seem resigned to the lack of expectations their young people have. Dan confronts this. He breathes a breath of fresh air through the club, actually believing the values the club pump out to their members. After Dan's equality workshop the whole essence of the staff regime is turned upside down, resulting in role reversal of the two groups. But amidst the humour tragedy is never far away! | |||||
