“I feel like England’s forcing the brain out me head.”
A Road, a wild night, a drunken tour guide, a journey to the gutter and the stars and back.
“Why’s the world so tough? It’s like walking through meat in high heels.”
Jim Cartwright’s seminal play gives expression to the inhabitants of an unnamed northern road in Eighties Britain.
“Road is coming round us.”
