Set in 1960's Liverpool during a dockworkers' and seafarers' strike, the play looks and laughs at the times through the microcosm of one terraced house where the TV does battle with the upright piano. Against a backdrop of picketing, marches and jailings, the McDermotts fight, laugh, lie and sing their way through the challenges, fuelled by home-brewed banana beer and a tea-chest bass. A family comedy about love, music and the power of a good cup of tea, featuring live music (with a bath-tub bass!), Sex and Drumgs and Rock 'n' Roll promises to keep your rabble entertained this Christmas.
