"there's never a dull moment when you deal in liquor"

A normal night in a bustling Northern pub. The Landlord and Landlady serve a stream of customers with their customary smiles. But as the evening draws on, the quaint and convivial atmosphere dissipates to reveal something darker and more disturbing. As the suffering of the customers begins to show, the publicans are forced to confront their own unspoken tragedy.

 

“Brilliantly, surrealistically and comically poetic”
Sunday Times

“A sharp, salty, quickfire evocation of the surface gaiety and underlying melancholia  of English pub life.”
Michael Billington, Guardian
