Synopsis: Helge, the patriarch of a chain of restaurants, is celebrating his sixtieth birthday and everyone is coming home from the party including Helge's sons, Christian, Michael and his daughter Helene. Missing from the roster of invitees is Christian's twin sister, Linda, who recently committed suicide. The reason for her action and the repercussions from it, form the basis of the shocking and painful events that transpire during a twenty-four hour period. In the midst of dinner, Christian makes a startling accusation and, even as the disbelieving guests are choosing sides, the play slowly unwraps the truth. | ||||

Synopsis: Set in the late 1980s the play uses Romford market in London to examine a period in hich Margaret Thatcher wrecked coal mining and flogged off our state-owned industries, paving the way for the fat-cat culture of today. A teenage lad gets a job on a shoe stall and soon finds sex, drugs and rock'n'roll at his feet. Market life teems around him in which a vast cast of 31 play an even vaster list of characters. Stallholders, flypitchers, a meat salesman, a transvestitie, a local Labour candidate and, naturally, Mrs T herself all turn up as the plot freewheels between the hero's erratic progress towards manhood and the effect on the market of a stuttering economy and dubious values. Bill Hagerty, Sun | ||||
