A couple of poor English-speaking Poles

by Dorota Maslowska

1 - 6 March 2010

A hedonistic party, a rickety car and a journey like no other...shall we hit the road?

Meet Gina and Blighty, who wander near the road, hitching rides whenever they can. The people they meet on their journey are inextricably drawn into their contemplation of the absurdity of the world around them. But all Blighty really wants is to get to work on time!
A couple of Poor, English speaking Poles, this is how they introduce themselves. But who are they really?
Please note this play contains strong language and scenes of drug use and violence.
