In a town, somewhere in the North...

Donna and Tracey work at the supermarket. Donna hates customers. Tracey loves ‘em – especially round the back of the totes.

Kay and Val are star-crossed lovers. Val loves her pooches but Kay’s got a dog phobia, an allergy to cheese and a ranty, armchair-bound mother, Maureen – who hates Clare Balding.

Receptionists Pepsi and Lulu work at the town hall. They’re ‘frenemies’. They’ve both got fiancés called Gary and lick grapes for pudding.

When Donna loses her job, Maureen gets evicted and Pepsi is downgraded to the waste management hotline, they know something’s wrong in this town. And their stories come together in a funny fast-paced, tale of sex, death, corruption, friendship, family and Latvian cigarettes.

With just two female actors playing all these parts - and more - it’s a high-energy thrill ride with quick switches, laughter, mayhem and maybe even a tear or two, too. So pay a visit to this strife-ridden Northern town and find out if Donna and co can save their city!
