Presented by Fiona Padfield After her father’s brutal murder, Lara flees India for rural Wales to avoid testifying in court. She sets up a new life living under an assumed name until Ricky, local mechanic and Rhondda-mafioso, appears. Ricky has been digging. He knows who Lara really is and promises to redeem her father’s reputation. But at what cost? Reviews for Fiona’s previous work: The language is obscene, the images revoltingly explicit; its strength springs from its refusal to portray the stripper as a victim…” Georgina Brown | THE INDEPENDENT “…a highly dangerous but courageous piece of writing…” TOM CONTI “Her grasp of the absurd and her meticulous eye for detail pay off…” Joe Penhall | TOOTING GUARDIAN “There is some striking writing here, ranging from unflinching accounts of the unglamorous nitty-gritty of the job through accurately captured inarticulacies and into the more poetic realms.” Kate Bassett | THE TIMES “Jo ushers us into the seedy club world by telling us, as if in amused conversation, of her first audition. She researches her act – and displays fine observational wit – in a loutish pub “one of those places you wouldn’t fancy going anywhere near the loo…” Nick Curtis | EVENING STANDARD “Padfield shows an intelligent awareness of the issues she broaches. The cruel realities of life are vividly portrayed in the tense and confused relationships” Lynne Walker | THE INDEPENDENT Suitable for ages 18+ Trigger/Content Warnings: Contains sexual violence, drug use, a gun shot sound effect and very strong language.
