Richard Bean

Published by Oberon

7 Male 0 Female

A brilliantly moving and funny play from the writer of the award-winning One Man, Two Guvnors

Another Sunday night shift

The smell of bread baking

The industrial thump, thump, thump of the machines that never stop

The ovens are cranked up to full blast, the factory is humming

And everyone wants to be somewhere else

But this shift is going to be different

Because when a crisis hits the factory, the men have more to lose than just their wages

"Bean's now familiar gallows humour" ~ Evening Standard
