In April 2013 Jackie Hagan was commissioned to write a solo show. The following month she was unexpectedly admitted to hospital with a very painful foot. Four months later she left hospital with one less leg and loads more maturity. This book is the script of the show, a poetic comedy with daftness and depth.
A witty and touching new play about class, friendship and absence, set in the forgotten town of Skelmersdale. Shaun and Dent grew up best friends on the same council estate in Skem. Dent left, full of ambition, but 10 years later she's back. Can Shaun convince her Skem is an inheritance better than any house?
