Play :: It is 1994 and buildings are rising in the Docklands. But marooned miles to the east, half-in and half-out or London, Romford has not been invited to the party. Confused about its identity, and threatened with the gradual demise of its blue-collar industry, the inhabitants of the 'only town in London with its own ring road' are trying to cope. In a family that doesn't understand him, Leon is having trouble working out who he's meant to be, while Danny arrives from India to claim the glorious inheritance his father promised him, only to be sorely disappointed. The friendship they forge has painful implications for all around them, in a play that explores growing up, identity, and loss.
