Revolution has torn through the land, leaving society teetering on
a knife edge. A young artist finds himself holed up at the City
Hotel with his mother, where he must sing for his supper. In the
face of ruin, with a pile of unpaid hotel bills growing out of
control, the artist has just three days to produce one hundred
artworks before he and his mother are turned out onto the street.
Forced to face his demons, the artist struggles to stay on course,
and soon finds he has to consider the very nature of art and
capitalism if he is to succeed in his task. 'A stunning debut... a
profound examination of the value and meaning of being an artist...
a series of hilarious tirades hide a deeper exploration of artistry
and the ideal conditions for art to be made.' - Broadway World,
'Set in a disturbingly familiar future, this play makes us ponder
the true value of art.' - London Pub Theatres Magazine
This is a moral nature, pertaining to the later part of the
twentieth century. Proving the rule that "No good deed goes
unpunished." Chaffinch Charlie is a gangster retired to the Cost A
Lot, where he has a bar, in which he runs girls for profit. Charlie
has over a long period, in and out of prison, develop certain a
pragmatism, realizing that profit and power are the only weapons in
today's society. He has an N.V.Q. in maiming and brutality and
works under the auspices of the Common Market. When his top girl
runs off with a wealthy man and marries him, he is, to say the
least, upset. He was fond of her, for she was, as he would say,
helping his onions settle after he did a bit of maiming for a
friend. Through a chance burglary he finds out where she lives and
decides to kidnap her son for large amounts of money. Charlie one
night has a dream, that he died and went to a Mince Heaven, the
dream changed and he watched from the astral plane; his bones being
taken from his body; then noticed that an architect had turned his
arse into a bungalow. A family of four moved in. Naturally he
prayed for forgiveness and would mend his ways and free the
kidnapped victim. When he woke in the morning and after going to
the toilet, checking the pan, he knew that it was only a dream. He
decided revenge on his previous employee, the lady that had run off
to get married. Naturally the conclusion to this story, is not good
triumphing over evil, but dear old capitalism winning? But who
wins?
