Charlie and Dim are twins, growing up in the shadow of Sizewell - and a family secret. Charlie, fed up with his dead-end job selling bull's semen, reckons it's time to have a showdown with the past and intends to go in all guns blazing, no matter who gets hurt. Changing his name to Bronson, he sets out to find the mother he's never known, and the father upon whom he plans to take his revenge.
I've lost count of the number of plays that cast regions of the UK as the Wild West, but Joel Horwood just about gets away with it, despite a production that seems determined to make the writing seem far too polite and well-behaved. I reckon that this play is much funnier and infinitely sadder than the limp production might suggest, and the fact that it succeeds in hitting where it hurts is a tribute to the vigour of Horwood's dialogue (and inspired touches such as hamster called Rambo).
Carl Prekopp as Charlie and Joseph Arkley as his brother Dim turn in decent performances. And while this outing does him no favours, Horwood - who made his name with Mikey the Pikey at Edinburgh back in 2005 and continued the good work last year with Food, performed by Imaginarybody - remains a talent to watch.
