This sad and funny state-of-England play offers a snapshot of the life of Johnny “Rooster” Byron, who lives as a small-town drug dealer and petty crook in a caravan in the woods. After years of living on the edge of the law, the net is tightening around him. A local thug is after him and he’s about to be evicted by the council. Meanwhile, a bunch of friends and hangers-on drift in and out of his orbit – partly to score drugs and partly because Johnny’s charisma acts as a magnet for local outcasts and losers. The play makes some fairly damning points about social conformity and where the country is heading.
