2nd CHANCE FRINGE! Whisky Tango Foxtrot!
Advertisement
Grittily honest, totally enlightening and hilariously funny tales of policing from the late 1970's onwards.
It’s the late 1970’s, Jack Bryan, a young father, shop steward and steel worker experiences the pain of redundancy just before Christmas and the impending birth of his second child. Caught up in the decline of traditional British Industries he joins the police at a time when that organisation is also in a state of rapid change. For the next 30 years Jack witnesses, first-hand, some of the most important events in late 20th century, British social history: the race riots of the early 80s; the miners’ strike of 84-85; and the decimation of British Industries due to both globalisation and Thatcher.
Coupled with all this, Jack finds himself entering a world which very few people get to know... a kind of psychotic Narnia that is governed by its own rules.
In the telling of this story Jack attempts to explain to the general public the reality of this parallel world. The results are both grittily honest, totally enlightening and hilariously funny.
