“A complete comic delight”

“Have you ever thought about how incongruous Country & Western is with Croydon?”
“Country & Western knows no borders, my friend”
Conor is a gay 17 year old lifeguard, trapped in the suffocating suburbia of Croydon. But the opportunity to prove himself to the world is finally here – through the local talent show, Croydon People’s Day. His friends Zainab and Michael aren’t convinced. Will his all-singing, all-dancing Country & Western tribute act be enough to get them onside and bring it home?
From Bruntwood Prize-longlisted writer Hugo Timbrell and director Nikhil Vyas comes a thrilling, joyous new comedy about friendship, glory, Shania Twain and what happens when you embrace your weird side.
