Chapel Street by Luke Barnes
You know sometimes when youre drinking, you feel a bit ill and you dread every swig, but you do it anyway because you want to get drunk? Hes been let down, belittled and ignored but tonight none of that matters its Friday and Joe is getting smashed. Kirsty has bought some vodka on the way home from school and is hastily shaving her legs with her friend's dads razor. As bottles are drained and the sun sets the two hit the town, neither aware that soon their lives will irreconcilably collide. Chapel Street is a rowdy, relentless two-hander about modern life and love on the dole. It is an acerbic yet compassionate portrait of good times gone bad for a betrayed generation.
