Description
Jim Cartwright's surreal vision of contemporary urban life is a complex and uncomfortable exploration of the human condition.
Set in a northern town, this play is a high-octane mix of magic, humour and bitterness, as its characters navigate the highs and lows of modern life.
First performed in 1987, Road has become a landmark of British theatre, offering a unique and unflinching look at the lives of those living on the margins of society.
