Dead frogs and domestic savagery…Deep in the English countryside a son returns home after an eight-year absence. An arsonist teenager, a small village, and a thatcher who hates Thatcher collide under the looming presence of a defunct currency-paper mill. Bud writes a twisted love song to an impoverished rural Britain. A darkly comic new drama by one of the UK’s most exciting new writing talents.‘Brennan’s coming of age as a truly significant voice in modern theatre’ - Broadway Baby ‘Drama of epic proportions’ – Metro ‘Brennan’s writing is sharply observed, economic and tightly plotted… this feels rather like watching Arthur Miller transported to the English countryside.’ – WhatsOnStage.com
