The last word in gallows humour. A killer comedy.
What does the second-best hangman in England do on the day Parliament abolish hanging? In his small Oldham pub, (ex) executioner Harry Wade holds court, surrounded by a motley crew of hangers-on all seeking his reaction to the news.
When a mysterious stranger turns up, a series of twists and turns are set in motion leading to an astonishing climax.
This savagely comic exploration of justice and punishment will have you laughing out loud, simultaneously shocked and delighted. A taut theatrical thriller by the multi award-winning writer of ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, 'In Bruges' and ‘The Pillowman’.
