Britain. 2013. Times are hard, but the money’s still out there if you know where to look and are prepared to gamble. Whether it’s prison or the corporate world, there are rules to be followed. Only the fittest survive. It’s every man for himself.

‘The play’s sharpness, competence and passion for its theme are memorable, and full of promise.’ The Scotsman on Ben Tagoe’s Cold Turkey at Nana’s
