Blue Hen

Work:: Blue Hen (S1530922459)

Des Dillon's dark comedy Blue Hen is a gritty, moving story about two men living on the roughest scheme in Coatbridge. But they've one thing going for them - the power of their own imaginations. Paddy and John are two ordinary working-class guys who are out of work, out of patience and out of luck when they hit on a plan to keep themselves occupied and their bellies full. They're going to rear chickens in the back green and sell the eggs. But it's not easy being the only honest men on the scheme and their venture doesn't go exactly to plan. As their dreams of self-sufficiency crumble, a powerful story of friendship against the odds unfolds.
