Johnny “Rooster” Byron faces eviction, fatherhood and a queue of troublemakers on one chaotic St George’s Day in Wiltshire.
First Night is a theatre diary for logging the shows you've seen and discovering what to see next.
Johnny “Rooster” Byron, an eccentric former daredevil, lives in a caravan in the Wiltshire woods and acts as a magnet for local young people. On St George’s Day, council officials are coming to evict him, his young son wants a trip to the fair, Troy Whitworth wants revenge, and his friends keep arriving for drugs and alcohol.
A sprawling comic drama built around one man’s hold over a community, with domestic pressure and escalating confrontation all colliding across a single day.
unruly outsiders, English rural settings, dark comedy and community conflict.
