Synopsis
Under the guidance of the rum-soaked wideboy Scullery, we are taken on an evening's tour of a scruffy, depressed road in a small Lancashire town. Moving from street corner to living room, from bedroom to kitchen, we meet the inhabitants of young, middle-aged, and old, glimpsing their socially and emotionally wretched lives, in this sharp, sad, funny, and angry play.

Review
Uncomfortable and magical, funny and bitter. It is a northern Under Milk Wood, high on pills and booze
Sunday Times
Road is indeed an original, affecting, rumbustious and truly remarkable piece of work
Financial Times
The writing [is] so immediate and entertaining too. As a first piece of work [it] is absolutely seminal.
Guardian
