“What did you do with the drugs?”

“Dumped’em in a field.”

“Are you serious? The cows are jumpin’ over the Moon, Mars and fuckin’ Jupiter!”

Teenager Ronnie hitchhikes North to search for a job and a new start. Ex-bouncer Stan, just out of prison, gives him a lift. But not where Ronnie thought he was going.

Instead, Stan speeds off the motorway to a deserted house on the moors. But neither Ronnie nor Stan get what they were looking for…

An unlikely love story of two men who don’t live likely lives.

James Hogan’s plays include Peacefully in his Sleep (Gate Theatre), The Guest Room (Not the RSC Festival/Old Red Lion), Venetian Gold (Official Edinburgh Festival/Kings Head Theatre) and Ivy & Joan (The Print Room/Jermyn Street Theatre).
