“A masterpiece of carefully observed naturalistic writing, of unforced political irony and cleverly concealed emotion…. Characters are brilliantly drawn.”
– London Daily Mail
Lauded as one of the year’s best in London, this remarkable first play is a gripping study of shifting alliances fueled by cut throat economics in the building trades. Three house painters working for a shifty contractor live in states of financial desperation: Lars is a family man with a crippling mortgage; Hemo has five kids and a drinking problem, and Jack has just taken out a loan. When Lars, not Jack, is asked to be the foreman on the upcoming factory job, a strike and a bloody battle for survival are triggered.
