Where’s Vietnam?

19 June 2008 - 21 June 2008

Hungry for revenge, two brothers, Banks and Arthur set off on a road trip that takes them down the M1 and into a world they don’t understand. 1968, and the sexual revolution is stuck in a traffic jam just outside Leeds but Banks and Arthur are about to see beyond the city’s narrow perimeters.

 

A fan of the Kray twins, Banks proudly models himself on Reggie Kray and pushes his gentle giant of a brother into the subservient role of Ronnie. As they hitch across country they encounter a shifting cast of characters, who offer them everything from fish paste sandwiches to balloon based sex. A new world unfolds before them, a world where the young demonstrate and get laid; the last thing Banks wants to do is give peace a chance.
