"If I were an animal there would be legislation to protect my home, but because I’m just a bloody human they can do whatever the f**k they like"

Welcome to the village of Syresham

It's not quite the Cotswolds

Townies have decided they want a lie in, so they're building a new high-speed railway

Issue is, it's going right through Barbara Honeybone's house, and she 'ent having none of it

Barbara's grandson Peter works for the townies and it's his job to convince the village that having a two-tonne bullet hurtling through their cabbage patches will actually be for the best

Then there's Harry, Barbara's younger grandson

He 'ent that bothered about trains, he's only got eyes for Debbie Mahoney

But the only thing Barbara hates more than townies is the Mahoneys

Originally commissioned by Nottingham Playhouse, Village Idiot by Samson Hawkins is an audacious comedy, where family feuds kick off around a country fair that all you townies are invited to
