The Scaffies
T452254894
The year is 1978, and Britain is experiencing social and political turmoil with a strong threat of nationwide strike action and disruption for many public sector workers. For one group of Dundee cleansing workers, it's business as usual...for the time being anyway. Theirs is a sometimes thankless job of hard graft, sweat, grime and filth which they combat with serious bouts of heavy drinking and merciless exchanges of banter, mickey-taking and black humour. From the high hopes and expectations of a nation entering the World Cup in Argentina to the harsh conditions of an unforgiving winter, follow the scaffies as we step back in time to a culture long gone. This is working class humour at it's raw best, transported straight from the streets and straight into the theatre.
