A short parallel play set in the
same time frame
as Max India’s Knickers but set, this time, in
‘The Archers’, a gay-oriented pub that has been
hired as the only one available to celebrate the
Stag night for Brian, the railway ticket collector
engaged to Chaz, featured in the other play.
The group of men invited, mostly
friends of the prospective Father-in-Law, find this an uncomfortable
experience and, along with
a mischief making female stripper, a gay barman and a
reluctant centre-fold, one that can only end in
mayhem. |
