In a world where successes can be few and far between, what does it take to be on the winning team? Tuesday night is quiz night at The Magpie and tonight the regulars are playing for a triple rollover jackpot. When an outsider arrives to join in with the quiz, the regulars find more than their general knowledge tested. Taking place in real time over the course of the quiz, the play uses popular TV quiz formats to interrupt reality and reveal how the characters' relationships and past mistakes have always kept them one step away from the big prize. Pub Quiz is a rich, fast-paced comedy which doesn't shirk from examining ideas of difference and belonging in a northern town.
