'The writing is fabulously blackly comic and timed to perfection.'  

Deirdre O'Halloran Literary Associate Soho Theatre.

Keith: 'Everyone of us colours things with the crayons that we have?' 

Steve: 'God Keith, you don't half talk bollocks sometimes'

 

Keith Goodman is a wronged man. He’s lost his kids, his house, his playstation... oh and his wife, and none of it is his fault.

 

Shambolic and drunk, Keith hatches a plan to share his plight with the world and so begins a night that sees ever-appeasing barman, Steve, and his feisty wife, Cath, in a lock-in like no other.

We are pleased to be supporting the work of Solace at performances of the play.

Solace has supports women and children in London to build safe and strong lives, free from domestic abuse and sexual violence. No matter whatever form violence comes in, from rape to trafficking to relationships based on psychological or financial control, they work to end it. Summoning the strength to report abuse, and trust that there is support available can be the hardest thing to do. Last year they supported over 16,000 women and children with specialist services so they can start to rebuild their lives. But reaching everyone who can benefit from their life-saving services needs help. Stand with Solace to end violence and abuse now.
