Elton John's Glasses

Work:: Elton John's Glasses (S3150)

Bill, an ardent Watford Football Club supporter spends his time in his almost empty room watching a video of the 1984 F.A. Cup final. Watford lost by one goal, it was the suns reflection on Elton John's glasses that blinded the goal keeper and caused the fatal goal. Dan his brother runs a band, and a run of bad luck means their instruments have been seized by the venue manager. It's not all bad though as he manages to acquire another set - very odd! A young girl and an old woman enter to provide a complex situation. This is a superb and gripping comedy of despair and obsession. Language not suitable for children.
