Road
by Jim Cartwright, 15-19 April 2008
Voted “36th best play of the 20th century” in a poll by the National Theatre, Jim Cartwright’s Road weaves a path through the lives of ordinary working class Lancastrians enduring the dark days of Thatcherism.
As darkly comic as they are desperate, Scullery, local stud-about-town, and his fellow inhabitants of the Road drink, fight and fornicate their way through a wild Saturday night, taking us on journeys that are by turns achingly poignant and gleefully satirical.
