The Chaos That Has Been and Will No Doubt Return

If anything can restore Luton's image, this may be it. Loud, frenetic and full of love of friends and community, three actors blast into life from the start. Two mates, a party, a knife and their lives are changed forever. The main character acts as narrator as they introduce the community including the old man at the corner shop who will not sell vodka to 16 year olds he's known since they were in nappies. The other two actors play a range of parts, making each special and usually very funny. It's a rich, fast paced mix, using an ingenious set of boxes which the cast chamber over. If this is the spirit of Luton, I may well go.
