Synopsis
The Great British Bulldog has been usurped by snarling hybrids. The bowler hat has morphed into the hoodie. The culture of polite society is now a culture of blame and hatred as our land of hope and glory is torn into extremes.
Two actors play a cast of thousands in a fast-paced and hilarious inquisition into broken Britain.
Strap yourselves in for a full throttle rollercoaster ride through the dilapidated attractions of noble old Blighty, exposing the millions of tiny volcanoes bubbling up through our green and pleasant land. With hymns.
"Lit up by excellent performances from Kevin Harvey and Michael Ryan"
The Stage

★★★★★ Devon Life
"A devil's advocate in theatrical form...could be your show of the year."
★★★★ Liverpool Post
“Very slick and accomplished…a relentless stream of sketches, songs, jokes and soliloquies, painting a vivid picture of our troubled land. Documentary theatre at its best.”
★★★★ Watford Observer
