Manchespool is a gritty bittersweet play set in the northwest of England, up north where we have our own brand of loving each other which means the more we like you the more license we have to insult you.

The applecart is upset when "Dave Moreley" returns to his hometown after eight years serving his time. Brain and Marge local chip shop owners who lost their son to this "Bastard" are faced with having to deal with their past, a past they had chosen to block out.

But its not all "grim up north" we laugh at ourselves, and each other..while "they" still let us.

Meanwhile Ollie who always seems to say the wrong thing at the right time shares his thoughts on putting the world to rights. As things are simple once you have had a couple of pints..it puts it all into perspective.
